Description

After over five years of war in Syria, civilians have not only been frequently caught in the crossfire, but have been intentionally targeted. In the view of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria, amongst others, many of these acts amount to genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Considering these ongoing atrocities, this episode of the podcast will examine the prospects for accountability for war crimes and other serious violations of international law in Syria, including the particular case of the Yazidis. Speakers: Sareta Ashraph, Chief Legal Analyst, UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria; Murad Ismael, Executive Director, Yazda Organization; Yousuf Syed Khan, Legal Analyst, UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria; Naomi Kikoler, Deputy Director, Center for the Prevention of Genocide, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; Ambassador Stephen Rapp, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes, 2009-2015.
