Descripción de The Battle for Aleppo: Achieving Accountability for Syrian War Crimes

The Syrian war has left an estimated 470,000 dead, with 4.8 million international refugees and 6.6 million people internally displaced. As peace efforts falter, the world cries out for the respect of human rights and international humanitarian law, seeking accountability for their infringement. Recent attention has focused on the siege of Aleppo, where intense aerial bombardment by Syrian and Russian forces destroyed all medical care infrastructure, wiped out marketplaces and bakeries and led to thousands of civilian deaths. Unlawful killings remain a hallmark of this blood-soaked conflict. Humanitarian access is blocked. What can be done? This panel discussion will examine the findings of the the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic special report examining the violations that took place in Aleppo city since late 2015, and debate its impact on any future accountability for victims of the conflict's many crimes. This event is co-organized by World Affairs and the Center for Justice and Accountability SPEAKERS Sareta Ashraph former Chief Analyst, UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Scott Gilmore Staff Attorney, Center for Justice and Accountability Stephen Rapp Former Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes, U.S. Department of State MODERATOR: Beth Van Schaack Leah Kaplan Visiting Professor in Human Rights, Stanford Law School For more information about this event please visit: http://www.worldaffairs.org/event-calendar/event/1685
