GENEVA, Dec 20 (AFP): International sanctions imposed on Syria must be reassessed to help the country rebuild following the ousting of president Bashar al-Assad, the head of the UN's migration agency said Friday. "So to rebuild the situation, there will be a need to re-evaluate those sanctions," International Organization for Migration head Amy Pope told a Geneva press conference, referring to "UN sanctions, US sanctions, other sanctions".
