Syria Uses Interpol to Pursue Bashar al-Assad
The Syrian Ministry of Justice is working to strengthen efforts to pursue fugitive wanted persons by forming a committee to coordinate with Interpol for the extradition of suspects, and by developing offices to receive transitional justice complaints. These steps come after the Damascus court issued death sentences against Bashar al-Assad and several former officials in cases related to violations committed during the previous regime's rule, with a focus on recovering looted funds and aligning international judicial standards with national sovereignty. These endeavors face legal challenges, particularly from countries that impose restrictions on extraditing individuals facing the death penalty.
