High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. In February 2026 a community advocacy group emailed Esri to request that access be restored for users in Syria, citing the 2025 lifting of sanctions and the importance of GIS tools for environmental monitoring and reconstruction. No response from the company has been recorded, and the block remains in place.
Contacted Company
An environmental advocacy group sent an outreach email to Esri at privacy@esri.com requesting restoration of access for users in Syria. The email highlighted the importance of GIS tools for environmental monitoring and reconstruction efforts, and referenced the 2025 sanctions lift.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Esri or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Esri Support:
No, Esri is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Esri directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
