IIIM Statement on Developments in Syria

Geneva, 03 December 2024 – The IIIM is closely monitoring the recent developments in Syria and is deeply concerned about the escalation and its impact on the local community. Rules of war are enshrined in international law, those who break them will be held accountable, and every avenue of justice will be seized.

Any information and evidence of violations of international humanitarian and human rights law falls within the scope of our mandate. The IIIM continues to support current and future investigations and prosecutions of such crimes committed in Syria. It does this without bias, either for or against any group or individual, and regardless of the affiliation or position of suspected perpetrators.
