I. Introduction SNHR documented the breaches that were committed by the parties to the conflict when Mr. Kofi Annan’s six-point plan was submitted in April, May, and June 2012 through daily reports. We kept sending daily copies of these reports to Kofi Annan’s office in Geneva until the plan was proven to be a failure especially because the Syrian regime continued to commit what were even beyond mere breaches, which manifested in violations that amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes, as we documented many of these crimes.

We did the same with the two Cessation of Hostilities ceasefires which were established on 27 February 2016, while the second ceasefire was on 12 September 2016, where we documented the breaches committed by the signing parties. The main party to violate these ceasefires was the Syrian regime and his Iranian ally, and the Russian regime.

On 30 December 2016, a comprehensive ceasefire agreement was announced under a Russian-Turkish sponsorship. The signing parties, the Syrian regime on one side, and armed opposition factions on the other side, pledged to cease all combat offensives in- cluding airstrikes, and to cease raids and advancements on the ground. However, military areas under the control of ISIS (Self-proclaimed the Islamic State) were excluded from the agreement.

This report sheds light on every breach committed (Combat operations and arrest opera- tions) by the parties that are bound by the truce agreement (Government forces, Russian forces, and armed opposition factions) in areas under the control of armed opposition factions and areas under a joint control (armed opposition factions and Fateh Al Sham

1 snhr [email protected] www.sn4hr.org Front). The report doesn’t include any combat operations in ISIS-held areas. We have re- viewed the pictures and videos we received and verified their authenticity using a private software. Also, we have talked to survivors, victims’ families, or eyewitnesses to some of the incidents.

On Monday 2 January 2017, armed opposition factions that agreed to the ceasefire agreement released a statement in which they announced that they will suspend any talks regarding the ceasefire agreement in response to the breaches that were committed by the Syrian regime forces and their ally the Iranian regime.

II. Executive Summary This report includes the breaches that were documented during the first two weeks of the ceasefire agreement that went into effect on Friday 30 December 2016.

C. Armed opposition factions: We recorded 7 breaches that are distributed across governorates as follows: Hama: 3 Aleppo: 4

These attacks resulted in the killing of 38 individuals; 33 civilians including six women, 11 children, and one fetus in addition to five armed opposition members. The death toll is distributed by the perpetrator party as follows: The Syrian regime: 19 individuals including four children, one woman, and two armed opposition members. Russian forces: 19 individuals including seven children, five women, one fetus, and three armed opposition members.

We also received reports on Russian/Syrian airstrikes targeting Wadi Barada area, which is under the control of armed opposition factions, while there are members of Fateh Al Sham Front in Wadi Barada. We haven’t included these incidents in our report as we are still investigating and following-up on these reports in light of the difficulties getting to eye- witnesses and media activists in that area.

IV. Conclusions and Recommendations The Russian regime Considering that most of the breaches were by the Syrian regime and its ally on the ground the Iranian regime, who both would be the most affected by any political agree- ment that aims towards a comprehensive settlement, the Russian regime, being a primary sponsor of the agreement, must apply pressure on the Syrian-Iranian regime to compel it to seriously commit to the agreement’s provisions. Otherwise, the ceasefire will ultimately fail.

Russian forces have to not breach the agreement, and cease bombing civilians. Any oth- er breaches by the Russian forces, who should supposedly oversee the implementation of the agreement, will demolish the credibility of any future Russian sponsorship.

24 snhr [email protected] www.sn4hr.org The Turkish government Seeing that Turkey is the other party sponsoring the ceasefire, the Turkish government must follow-up with the breaches that were committed at the hands of armed opposition factions, and insure that such breaches won’t reoccur in order to preserve the success of the truce.
