Death sentences challenge Syria's rule of law
The article discusses recent judicial rulings against key figures of the fallen Assad regime, including the trials of Bashar Assad and Atef Najeeb, and the impact of these rulings on the trajectory of transitional justice in Syria. It focuses on how the judiciary utilizes accountability to hold responsible those involved in serious violations such as killing, torture, and enforced disappearance, emphasizing the necessity of applying the principle of individual responsibility regardless of political position or influence. The article also highlights the importance of building public trust in judicial institutions through transparent procedures and strong defense rights, as well as recognizing victims' rights to know the fate of their loved ones and to seek reparation. It underscores that these rulings represent a starting point for a sustained test of an independent judiciary that upholds the rule of law, turning criticisms into an opportunity to rebuild institutions that prevent the recurrence of violations and ensure justice for all victims.
