Abstract

The article analyzes the anti-Syrian sanctions applied by the United States against sovereign and independent Syria for a number of decades under artificially formulated pretexts. These sanctions, along with the military actions initiated on the territory of Syria with the help of external (extra-regional) participants in international relations, led to a sharp reduction, and in fact - the destruction of the economic potential of the Syrian People's Republic, the deterioration of the social and humanitarian situation in the SAR. The author substantiates the point of view that the world community should support Syria at the stage of its reconstruction, for this purpose it is possible to consider the possibility of using a mechanism for the development of regional cooperation with the participation of individual non-regional partners.
