The Syrian Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-175) is a U.S. federal law passed in 2003 that authorizes the President to impose economic sanctions on Syria in response to its alleged support for international terrorism, occupation of Lebanon, pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, and involvement in the proliferation of such weapons, as well as human rights abuses. The act requires the President to determine within 90 days of enactment whether Syria meets certain criteria for sanctions, including ending support for terrorist groups, withdrawing forces from Lebanon, and halting the production of weapons of mass destruction. It also calls for the restoration of Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The legislation had a significant impact on U.S.-Syria relations, contributing to international pressure that led to Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2005 following the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Sanctions were imposed in 2004 and remained in place until partially lifted in later years, influencing U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East by isolating the Syrian regime economically.
