Civil society backs Syria ICC referral bid
Civil society backs Syria ICC referral bid
#GlobalJusticeWeekly (CICC), 16 May 2014
Over 100 civil society groups — including the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies, No Peace Without Justice, Human Rights Watch (HRW) and several other Coalition members — have urged the Council to pass a UN Security Council resolution to refer the situation in Syria to the ICC prosecutor for investigation.
Physicians for Human Rights also condemned the Syrian government for attacking hospitals. HRW cited evidence that the Syrian government has continued to use chemical weapons. FIDH published a Q&A on challenges in the fight against impunity in the country.
