UN urges Syria to review expropriation laws
UN experts have called on the Syrian government to suspend and amend the expropriation laws enacted during the previous regime, such as Decree No. 66 of 2012 and Law No. 10 of 2018, which have led to widespread displacement and the confiscation of property from middle- and low-income families in favor of wealthy groups. The experts emphasized the necessity for the upcoming Syrian constitution to guarantee the right to housing and protect it in accordance with international human rights law, especially since the 2025 constitutional declaration acknowledged the right to property but did not explicitly address the right to adequate housing. They also affirmed that expropriation procedures and related legislation remain in force despite the harm they have caused. The experts urged addressing the social and economic roots of the crisis through a transitional justice approach, highlighting the importance of including the right to housing in future constitutional arrangements to ensure stability and achieve justice for the affected populations.
