You say, “not Israel“, but you dodged the question of which Country in the MENA has got it right? Instead, you just single out Israel. Do you have a balanced scale?
The recent civil war in Syria left over 12 million displaced human beings, a half million human beings dead, and untold amount of damage and torture. Who was held to account? Do you have a balance scale for the rest of the MENA region?????
(The Hague) – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) order on November 16, 2023, directing Syria to take all measures within its power to prevent acts of torture and other abuses is a milestone toward protecting civilians in Syria— Human Rights Watch
On June 8, 2023, the Netherlands and Canada filed a case alleging that Syria is violating the international Convention Against Torture. All three countries are party to the treaty. The case is not a criminal proceeding against individuals but seeks a legal determination of state responsibility for torture. The November 16 order responds to the Netherlands’ and Canada’s request for what are known as “provisional measures,” aimed at stopping ongoing violations and supporting steps necessary for future proceedings.
