Thousands of Syrians face legal challenges

Syria faces significant challenges in addressing the legacy of judicial rulings and security accusations issued against thousands of Syrians during Bashar Assad’s regime. This is especially true concerning cases related to terrorism and absentia rulings. Although the government has announced the abolition of anti-terror courts and exceptional laws, many pursuits and arrest warrants remain in effect, hampering the resolution of affected individuals' situations and restricting their freedoms. The regime suffers from a discrepancy between political decisions and their implementation, as records of many wanted persons remain outdated, and pursuits continue despite the abolition of some laws. This results in arrest warrants remaining active and rights being restricted. There is an urgent need to establish a unified database and implement faster judicial procedures to regularize the legal status of those affected, especially since current solutions are insufficient to overcome administrative delays and bureaucratic entanglements.
