Trial Monitoring
SJAC’s trial monitoring program follows a strict methodology to establish a historical record of trials related to the Syrian conflict and ensure the availability of documentation for victims and families.
These trials often lack official court transcripts and/or translations, rendering proceedings opaque, limiting the scope of testimony available, and hindering future opportunities for reflection on human rights violations and justice processes.
As part of its trial monitoring project, SJAC publishes regular trial reports that are available below in both English and Arabic.
