Syria faces over 2,500 legal cases in transition
The Syrian judiciary is currently prosecuting those responsible for past violations through a transitional justice process that relies on domestic laws and international standards. Syrian courts have already decided on five cases and are currently reviewing twelve others. Additionally, there are 69 cases before the referral judge and 1,147 cases under investigation. The government affirms its commitment to fair trial standards, ensuring the rights of the defense and the transparency of proceedings. The country is entering a new phase of human rights policies, marked by the inclusion of these issues on the agenda of the Human Rights Council for the first time. Furthermore, the National Commission for Missing Persons has launched a program to document cases of disappearance, along with campaigns to report missing persons and locate mass graves. The commission has also expressed concern over Israeli military activities within Syria and allegations of war crimes, calling for efforts to track down the fate of those forcibly disappeared.
