The Arab League agreed on Sunday to impose economic sanctions against Syria and members of the Syrian government, in resposne to reports of widespread violence against civilian protesters. The Arab League had previously suspended Syria after its failure to implement an agreeed-upon peace plan. The League also called upon the United Nations to impose similar sanctions, but rejected any call for military intervention. The sanctions could have some effect on Syria, which relies heavily on trade with its Arab neighbors. They might also spur renewed calls for action at the United Nations, as countries might be more willing to act if they sense support from reigional associations.
