カナダが対シリア制裁を拡大 貿易を大幅制限 「アサドを切り捨てる」
シリアへの機械類の輸出を全面停止。
シリアからの輸入は、食糧を除き、全面停止。
対シリア投資を全面禁止。
シリア政府の全関係者の資産凍結。(前の記事)
・・・普通は、米国の経済制裁が、カナダ経由の取り引きで筒抜けになるというのが、よくあるパターンなので、カナダが締めたというのがミソかも。
「全関係者」という凍結の仕方は存在しないので、カナダ政府は全公務員のリストを作らないといけませんね。本省はともかく、大使館は人数が少ないので大変だ(苦笑)。
それとも、とりあえずシリア国籍の口座を一律に凍結してしまって、困って窓口にやってきた人から書類を提出させるのだろうか?それなら、嫌がらせとして効果が高い。今頃シリア人コミュニティーはパニックに陥っているかも。
「Some of his most loyal historic supporters」って誰のこと?ピンと来ないんだけど。憲章違反行為を繰り返しているアラブ連盟のことでも指しているのか?

Canada will impose a raft of new sanctions on Syria to "put the squeeze" on the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said on Friday.
"We will not sit idly by, not while Assad and his thugs continue to violate the rights of the Syrian people," Mr. Baird said. "The growing isolation of this despotic regime sends one message and one message only: Assad is cut off."
Anti-government protesters carry coffins during the funeral of protesters killed in earlier clashes in Damascus suburb of Zabadani December 21, 2011.
The sanctions include an end to all exports of equipment to Syria, including any materials that could help the regime monitor the telephone and Internet communications of protesters.
All imports from Syria, except for food, are also banned, as is investment in the country, he said. Canada will also freeze the assets of anyone associated with the Syrian regime and ban all economic dealings with those individuals.
An estimated 5,000 people have been killed since protesters began taking to the streets earlier this year, according to a United Nations.
The European Union, the United States and the Arab League have all imposed sanctions on the country in an effort to force the Syrian government to end its violent crackdown on protesters.
Mr. Baird said "the vice is tightening" on Mr. Assad, as international calls for his resignation grow. "Some of his most loyal historic supporters have renounced his violent crackdown and have imposed tough and targeted sanctions," he said.
He praised the decision of the Arab League to suspend Syria's membership and impose economic and diplomatic sanctions, adding the Arab League has "really filled the void" left by the United Nations Security Council's inaction.
The UN issued a statement this fall condemning the violence in Syria, but has not passed a resolution calling for an arms embargo on the country, as the United States and European members of the Security Council had hoped for.
Mr. Baird also reiterated a call for the approximately 5,000 Canadians who live in Syria to leave the country as soon as possible. Last week, he told reporters he was encouraging a "voluntary evacuation," warning Canada's ability to provide diplomatic assistance to its citizens in Syria could be limited.
Syria's capital was hit by two suicide car bombings on Friday that killed at least 40 people, according to the Associated Press. The Syrian government says the blasts are evidence that the violence in the streets is the work of terrorists, and has suggested al-Qaeda could be responsible.
Mr. Baird rejected that suggestion outright on Friday. "If it wasn't so serious, it would almost be comical," he said.
Asked whether Canada would take part in any future military intervention in Syria, as it had in Libya, Mr. Baird said he wouldn't speculate on the idea, adding there had not yet been a call from the opposition in Syria for international forces to help them battle the regime.
