Syrian Court Credibility Questioned Amid Selective Prosecution

developing BBC World Service Damascus 15d15d Impact 5
Observers note that current court efforts appear to target only officials from the Assad regime. Doubts persist as the current president recently appeared publicly with individuals linked to violence in Syria. The lack of impartiality in post-war local courts remains a central concern for observers. Observers claim the Syrian judicial system is not impartial in its handling of war crimes. Critics argue that other actors involved in crimes within Syria are not being held accountable by local courts. This lack of neutrality is being highlighted in the context of post-war judicial establishment. There are ongoing doubts regarding the credibility of the courts in the region.
