In brief
The Syrian civil war has prompted a dedicated effort from human rights organizations to seek justice for the victims of the Assad regime, undeterred by the president's current asylum in Russia.
The call for accountability gained momentum following the fall of the Assad government, with activists preparing to gather evidence and witness testimonies against the regime's security apparatus. Fadel Abdul Ghany, of the Syrian Network for Human Rights, emphasized the broader aim of targeting the entire system, not just Assad. With over 200,000 civilians reported killed and countless others suffering from torture and disappearances, organizations like the Commission for International Justice and Accountability are working tirelessly to document these atrocities. Despite challenges ahead, the pursuit of justice remains a steadfast goal for these human rights advocates.
