After decades of brutality, moving stories from #Syria on the search for disappeared & missing. Crucial records & evidence must be effectively preserved. The work of the new UN Independent Institution for Missing Persons in Syria is more urgent than ever! iimp.un.org/en

العدالة والمحاسبة ليست انتقامً، بل هما الأساس لمنع الانتقام وتمهيد الطريق للمصالحة والسلام المستدام يجب تأسيس مسار وطني شامل للعدالة الانتقالية في سوريا. يضمن هذا المسار محاسبة الجناة، وتحقيق العدالة للضحايا، وضمان عدم تكرار مثل هذه الفظائع. Justice and accountability are not

#ICC Prosecutor Karim A. A. Khan KC: If we work together, #ICC & #UNSC can be a powerful force for justice & strengthen the basis for peace. But if action is taken against the #ICC, it will impact our collective ability to support victims in #Darfur and globally.

ATLAS's profile of the inspiring Mona Rishmawi is out! Mona is a Palestinian, Jordanian & Swiss lawyer, currently serving as a Member of the Independent Intl Fact-Finding Mission on the Sudan. Read about her journey - and her advice for others 👇 atlaswomen.org/profiles/2025/…

This was an inspiring read. A recurring theme throughout every chapter of her career—from Palestine to Darfur, Sri Lanka to Syria—is that the dignity of victims and survivors must be the foundation of any justice effort. That is one of the many powerful takeaways.

Grateful to Opinio Juris 4 publishing 👇. I argue that cancelling 4 Geneva Convention March Conference on OPT undermines IHL, not just in the OPT, but in conflicts as #Ukraine & #Sudan. I discuss other opportunity to advance justice. #IHL #ICC #HumanRights

.Opinio Juris has two important posts up today about the Israel-Palestine conflict. The first, from Mona Rishmawi, discusses enforcement of IHL. Mona has held innumerable important UN posts, including at the OHCHR and the Commission of Inquiry for Darfur. opiniojuris.org/2025/04/08/enf…

As fighting in #Sudan enters its third year, the United Nations's Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for the Sudan is calling on the warring parties to cease fire, warning that the conflict's “darkest chapters” may lie ahead. More ➡ bit.ly/4j96hpF

As #Sudan’s conflict enters 3rd year, UN Fact-Finding Mission said attacks on civilians, medical workers & HR defenders & revenge killings are escalating. These are not collateral, but probably international crimes. Protect civilians & advance justice. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

مع بدايه العام الثالت للصراع في #السودان غدا، تتصاعد الهجمات على المدنيين و عمال القطاع الصحي و نشطاء حقوق الإنسان، إلى جانب القتل الانتقامي. هذه ليست نتائج جانبية للنزاع بل ربما جرائم دولية. حماية المدنيين والمساءلة ضروريتان. ohchr.org/ar/press-relea…
