The IIIM is pleased to share an unofficial translation of key parts of the judgment in the case of Anwar R., issued in January 2022 by the Koblenz Higher Regional Court in Germany. The investigation that led to this judgment was supported by information and evidence provided by the IIIM.
When the ruling was publicly disclosed after it became legally binding in 2024, the IIIM committed to making it more accessible, especially for Syrian victims and survivors, by translating the original German judgment into both Arabic and English.
These translations aim to support a broader understanding of this milestone case and its significance for justice and accountability for core international crimes committed in Syria since 2011.
