(NOHR-S); Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Damascus, Syria. Working together since the beginning of the Syrian uprising to monitor human rights violations, these NGOs will be referred to as “the Coalition of Syrian NGOs”. 4 / Bashar Al Assad: Criminal Against Humanity – FIDH Reporting Human Rights Violations Since the beginning of the uprising in Syria in March 2011, the Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies (DCHRS) received a considerable amount of reliable information of grave human rights violations committed against civilians in Syria, on a quasi-daily basis. FIDH decided to support its member organisation in collecting information and preparing this information paper. This document will examine the trends behind the major and most pervasive crimes and human rights violations reported during the Syrian uprising between March 15th and July 15th 2011. Rather than a comprehensive report examining all the reported human rights violations, this information paper will shed light, on the basis of received information, on categories of severe human rights violations that have occurred recurrently and even systematically in Syria. The main trends observed behind these human rights violations are: • Extra-judicial killings and increasingly systematic use of violence by governmental forces, most often within the context of anti-government demonstrations; • Mass arrests, abductions, enforced disappearances and detention of civilians, most often of arbitrary nature; • Acts of torture, degrading or inhumane treatment; • Repression of free assembly and violations of the freedom of information, notably targeting media and human rights defenders; • Military operations and besieged cities: practices amounting to collective punishments committed against the civilian population; • Restriction and denial of access to hospitals. FIDH – Bashar Al Assad: Criminal Against Humanity / 5 I. Introduction The spark of the Syrian uprising was lit in Daraa on March 6, 2011, following the arbitrary arrest of 15 young boys, who were subsequently detained and tortured for painting anti-government slogans on a wall. The sentence: “People / want / to topple the regime!” echoed some of the slogans heard by the children during the uprisings in Tunis and Cairo. On March 18, 2011, some inhabitants of the city of Daraa organized a march calling for the release of these children. The march was violently repressed by the Syrian authorities, who used lethal weapons against the peaceful crowd. Within a week of the first protest, the Security Forces had killed at least 55 demonstrators in and around the city of Daraa. Protests remained localized in the South of the country for at least a month, before the wave of demonstrations made its way up, sweeping the unrest across Syria, from the West coast to the Eastern province of Mesopotamia, to the inner walls of the University City in Damascus and Aleppo and finally to the northern province of Idleb, near the Turkish border. Demonstrations have and are still breaking out all across Syria in unprecedented numbers. In total, thousands of people have now already challenged the regime calling for freedom and reforms and for the very most part, peacefully. These demonstrations are explained by the deterioration of the economic, political and social conditions in Syria1, against financial and political corruption, and amid general demands for reforms across the Arab world. What started as peaceful demands for political reform became a quest for regime change, and it is in the face of these demands that the Syrian government started exerting an increasingly tough repression. Entire populations have been subjected to repression, notably in the cities that have been besieged by the army. In some of them, inhabitants suffer from a humanitarian crisis, in lack of water, food, and medical supplies. Many of these inhabitants are furthermore being denied access to medical personnel. As an illustration, the unrestricted access to the areas and people affected by the unrest was denied to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) until June 21, 20112. The Syrian government has now blocked territorial access to international journalists, independent NGOs, as well as to the Fact finding mission on the situation in Syria mandated by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. Media personnel, human rights defenders, local journalists and civil society organizations are also targeted by the regime and often subjected to recurrent measures of repression. These intentional measures sustain a blackout on the human rights violations committed by the Syrian government, and make it moreover difficult to scrutinize and report on these violations. Overall in the last four months and as of July 15, 2011 over 1,665 individuals have died3, including at least 84 children4. Over 11,200 people have been allegedly arrested and the total number of Syrian refugees is said to have surpassed 20,000 people. 1.

    Syria: Past, Present and Preservation Emma Cunliffe, Durham University, and the Global Heritage Fund August 2011 1 The pleasure of food and drink lasts an hour, of sleep a day, of women a month, but of a building a lifetime ~ Arabic Proverb ~ (Unless otherwise stated, photographs are by The Fragile Crescent Project, Durham University, or Emma Cunliffe) 2 Carchemish Click here to explore Carchemish (Syria / Turkey) in the Global Heritage Network Threat Level: At Risk Carchemish was an important Mitanni, Hittite and Neo-Assyrian city on the edge of the Euphrates. Partially excavated by Leonard Woolley in the early twentieth century, it now lies in the no-man’s land between Syria and Turkey. Approximately 40% of the lower town lies in the Syrian side of the border, whilst the main tell, and rest of the lower town are in Turkey. The Turkish side has a military border outpost on the top of the citadel, and large parts of it were mined, but mine-removal was completed in 2010, paving the way for an era of accessibility. Excavations are intended to start there soon, and plans are currently being drawn up to turn it into a large archaeological park to boost tourism in the area. The lower town on the Syrian side has been damaged by the expansion of the nearby town of Jerablus. Since the 1960s the town has expanded inside the old city walls, destroying the ancient settlement. A few features remain, however, and are still visible today. Those parts of the lower town not under the modern urban fabric are now part of a heavily irrigated intensively farmed agricultural area which is composed of fields and orchards, and the city walls are being bulldozed to extend the fields.

  • NGO Report Submitted to the United Nations Committee for The
    NGO Report Submitted to the United Nations Committee for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) In response to the second periodic report of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic Geneva, Switzerland, July 2014 I. Introduction The violent armed conflict has entered its fourth year and is spreading to most Syrian regions, now divided into the so-called “regime-controlled territory” and “territory out of the regime control”. The Syrian people, including all classes and social formations, is paying a heavy price for the ongoing armed violence in various areas. Reports by UN agencies, local and international human rights organizations and experiences of countries with similar contexts shows that women bear the heaviest burden of such conflicts. Gender-based violence and discrimination had existed in Syria before the armed conflict and were emphasized by a number of laws and practices in public or private spheres. Patriarchal values and norms still govern the Syrian women’s lives and rights as sacred religious and social values. With the lack of international action toward what is happening in Syria, we would like to draw attention that, with the continuing armed conflict for more than three years, women have become vulnerable to all forms of violent practices and various human rights violations by different parties to the conflict, though with varied levels and forms between one party and another. Women suffer from killing, forced disappearances, detention, rape, kidnapping, internal and external displacement. They have to secure livelihood for their families in displacement areas and refuge countries. Child marriage and women trafficking have significantly increased particularily in the refuge host countries.

  • Situation Report: WHO Syria, Week 19-20, 2019
    WHO Syria: SITUATION REPORT Weeks 32 – 33 (2 – 15 August), 2019 I. General Development, Political and Security Situation (22 June - 4 July), 2019 The security situation in the country remains volatile and unstable. The main hot spots remain Daraa, Al- Hassakah, Deir Ezzor, Latakia, Hama, Aleppo and Idlib governorates. The security situation in Idlib and North rural Hama witnessed a notable escalation in the military activities between SAA and NSAGs, with SAA advancement in the area. Syrian government forces, supported by fighters from allied popular defense groups, have taken control of a number of villages in the southern countryside of the northwestern province of Idlib, reaching the outskirts of a major stronghold of foreign-sponsored Takfiri militants there The Southern area, particularly in Daraa Governorate, experienced multiple attacks targeting SAA soldiers . The security situation in the Central area remains tense and affected by the ongoing armed conflict in North rural Hama. The exchange of shelling between SAA and NSAGs witnessed a notable increase resulting in a high number of casualties among civilians. The threat of ERWs, UXOs and Landmines is still of concern in the central area. Two children were killed, and three others were seriously injured as a result of a landmine explosion in Hawsh Haju town of North rural Homs. The general situation in the coastal area is likely to remain calm. However, SAA military operations are expected to continue in North rural Latakia and asymmetric attacks in the form of IEDs, PBIEDs, and VBIEDs cannot be ruled out. II. Key Health Issues Response to Al Hol camp: The Security situation is still considered as unstable inside the camp due to the stress caused by the deplorable and unbearable living conditions the inhabitants of the camp have been experiencing .
