  • Breaking the Silence
    BREAKING THE SILENCE Lessons from humanitarian access negotiations under counter-terrorism legislation in north-western Syria Lena Schellhammer March 2021 An institution of MAECENATA FOUNDATION 1 Abstract Access negotiations between humanitarian actors and Non-State-Armed Groups (NSAG) controlling a certain area are a necessary precondition for pro- viding humanitarian assistance to affected populations in that area. However, in practice, there has only been minimal support for humanitarians doing so, and the topic is rarely openly discussed, especially when humanitarian access needs to be negotiated with designated “terrorist” groups that are sanctioned by coun- ter-terrorism legislation. This working paper fills this transparency gap by show- casing the humanitarian access negotiations with Hay'at Tahrīr al-Shām (HTS) and its local governance institution, the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG), in north-western Syria. Based on a general analysis with the help of the micro-pol- itics theory by Michel Crozier and Erhard Friedberg (1979) and the power-de- pendence theory by Richard M. Emerson (1962), this paper outlines the implica- tions of counter-terrorism measures on humanitarian actors’ ability to pursue these negotiations. First and foremost, they trigger a culture of silence that re- sults in a generally weakened humanitarian negotiation position. However, they also foster problematic humanitarian negotiation strategies like the involvement of intermediaries and the threat to suspend humanitarian assistance. The paper concludes that, besides the use of so-called power networks, especially an en- hancement of information exchange and an open culture of debate on individu- al strategies to humanitarian negotiations, are the most promising solutions to overcome the dilemmas posed by counter-terrorism measures to humanitarian access negotiations.

  • General Assembly Distr.: General 16 August 2013
    United Nations A/HRC/24/46 General Assembly Distr.: General 16 August 2013 Original: English Human Rights Council Twenty-fourth session Agenda item 4 Human rights situations that require the Council’s attention Report of the independent international commission of inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic* Summary The Syrian Arab Republic is a battlefield. Its cities and towns suffer relentless shelling and sieges. Massacres are perpetrated with impunity. An untold number of Syrians have disappeared. The present report covers investigations conducted from 15 May to 15 July 2013. Its findings are based on 258 interviews and other collected evidence. Government and pro-government forces have continued to conduct widespread attacks on the civilian population, committing murder, torture, rape and enforced disappearance as crimes against humanity. They have laid siege to neighbourhoods and subjected them to indiscriminate shelling. Government forces have committed gross violations of human rights and the war crimes of torture, hostage-taking, murder, execution without due process, rape, attacking protected objects and pillage. Anti-government armed groups have committed war crimes, including murder, execution without due process, torture, hostage-taking and attacking protected objects. They have besieged and indiscriminately shelled civilian neighbourhoods. Anti-government and Kurdish armed groups have recruited and used child soldiers in hostilities. The perpetrators of these violations and crimes, on all sides, act in defiance of international law. They do not fear accountability. Referral to justice is imperative. There is no military solution to this conflict. Those who supply arms create but an illusion of victory. A political solution founded upon tenets of the Geneva communiqué is the only path to peace.

  • Hama Governorate, February 2018 OVERALL FINDINGS1
    Hama Governorate, February 2018 Humanitarian Situation Overview in Syria (HSOS) OVERALL FINDINGS1 Coverage Hama Governorate, located on the banks of the Orontes River, is positioned to the south of Idleb Governorate and the north of Homs Governorate. An offensive against the group known as the Islamic Ziyara State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in late August 2017, followed by a rapid escalation in conflict in northern ALEPPO Hama in mid-September, resulted in large-scale displacement, both within and out of the governorate to IDLEB neighbouring Idleb. For further information on displacement trends in Hama governorate in the second Shat-ha half of 2017, please refer to the northern Hama HSOS Trends Analysis. In February 2018, 14 of the 49 LATTAKIA assessed communities, primarily in Hama district, reported that only 1-25% of the pre-conflict population Madiq Castle remained. Additionally, over half of the assessed communities stated that further pre-conflict populations Hamra left their communities in February, primarily due to an escalation in conflict. Approximately 200 - 375 IDPs As-Suqaylabiyah returned to their communities of origin, Jeb Ramleh, Zaytuneh and Kanfo2. Of the assessed communities, KarnazKafr Zeita seven reported hosting IDPs in February. Across these communities, IDPs reportedly most commonly lived Suran in shared apartments our houses that they were renting or that they owned.

  • Violations of International Humanitarian Law in the Northern Countryside of Hama October 22, 2019
    Violations of International Humanitarian Law In the Northern Countryside of Hama October 22, 2019 After initiating a military campaign in the northern countryside of Hama on April 29, 2019, the Government of Syria (GoS) and its Russian ally took control of the entire northern countryside of Hama, displacing its inhabitants. Shortly thereafter human rights abuses began in the area, with the following violations documented: - Looting and thefts: The GoS forces and their allied militias started a systematic campaign of looting and destruction of civilian property and livelihoods. Locals in the northern countryside of Hama stated that they experienced the theft of all their belongings, including household items, windows and doors. In some cases even the electricity cables were taken out of the walls of the houses and stolen. Abu Qasim, a member of the Local Council told us, "The people have lost all the belongings they left in the city of Morek, which they hastily left for fear of their lives and families. Residents refuse to return to their city even if the regime allows them to because they do not believe that they will be protected from arrest or recruitment of their children. The regime brought some civilians from Morek and made them speak to the media to make the world think things were back to normal, but the fact is that these cities and towns are all empty of the population except the military forces of the regime and its thieves stealing houses and logging the trees." - Logging: There were reports of GoS forces conducting logging operations on tree farm in the northern countryside of Hama, where these trees are sold as firewood on the market.

The offensive was carried out in three efforts, with the goal of retaking several villages east of the southern Al-Ghab Plain and cutting off Road 56, which runs from Hama to the Al-Ghab Plain and from there to Idlib. The Syrian army managed to repel the attacks, apart from the southern effort, where the rebel organizations managed to take over several villages. The rebel organizations and the Syrian army sustained heavy losses. The Syrian army sent reinforcements and is preparing to retake the area that was taken over by the rebel organizations. The Iraqi arena: Terrorist and guerrilla activity continued in the various provinces. This week, routine attacks were carried out in the form of sniper fire, detonation of IEDs, light arms fire and mortar shells. A new modus operandi this week was setting fire to a field of grain and then detonating an IED against a force of the Shiite militias of the Popular Mobilization, which arrived at the scene of the fire. These attacks were accompanied by intensive media activity by ISIS.
