Prosecution of war crimes in Syria
On 17 March 2015, investigators from the UN announced they would share names and details of persons suspected of war crimes in Syria with national authorities preparing cases. The compiled lists are said to include Syrian military and security officials and rebel commanders.
The inquiry has called for Syria to be referred to the ICC, but has recommended that if that avenue is blocked an international ad hoc tribunal should be proposed.
The EU regional strategy for Syria and Iraq, adopted by the FAC on 16 March 2015, states that the EU will work to support the UN Commission of inquiry on Syria.
1. How does the VP/HR assess the decision to provide information on suspected war criminals and in what ways are she and/or the EEAS in contact with the commission of inquiry?
2. How are the VP/HR and/or the EEAS pursuing the investigation and documentation of war crimes in Syria and does she agree that more funds should be made available to support the gathering of evidence and testimonies?
3. How are the VP/HR and/or the EEAS pushing for referral to the ICC and does she agree that, should this avenue remain blocked, an ad-hoc tribunal would be a useful mechanism to bring perpetrators to account?
