Event
This side event – organized by the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism with the support of the Geneva Academy – will focus on the human rights of men, women and children who are currently still detained in North-east Syria, with an aim to propose concrete human rights- compliant solutions to these ongoing human rights violations.
The event will address in particular the situation of boys, who are in a situation of cradle-to-grave detention as a form of gender discrimination, the situation of men, who are in a situation of indefinite arbitrary detention that is often sustained by their home countries, and the situation of all those who cannot be subject to voluntary and human rights-compliant repatriations. This concept note provides detailed background information about detention in North-east Syria and the position of the UN Special Rapporteur.

This interview helps us understand better the specificities of the December highlight of the directory: The National Recommendations Tracking Database (NRTD).

The ‘Counter-Terror Pro LegEm’ project combines legal analysis with social science research to (1) examine the effectiveness of counterterrorism measures and their effects on human rights and (2) analyse the structure of terrorist networks such as Al Qaeda or the Islamic State and see whether they qualify as ‘organized armed groups’ for the purpose of international humanitarian law.
