Join us for an engaging panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities for transitional justice in post-Assad Syria. We will be joined by Mariana Karkoutly and Noor Hamadeh, members of Huquqyat, a Syrian civil society organization founded by women lawyers and legal practitioners. Huquqyat works on developing gender-sensitive investigations and survivor-centered approaches to documentation, legal action, and case-building related to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Syria. The panel will also feature Mohammad Al Abdallah, Director of the Syria Justice and Accountability Center, and Ana Paulina Maestre, a graduate student at Georgetown University and an expert on Colombia’s transitional justice experience. The discussion will be moderated by Dania Arayssi, Non-Resident Fellow at the New Lines Institute. This event is co-sponsored with the New Lines Institute Middle East Center and Huquqyat.

Lunch will be provided after the conclusion of the event (1-2 p.m.).
