Human rights situation in North and East Syria

HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
52nd session

CETIM is highly concerned about the human rights situation in North and East Syria, particularly following the military occupation lead by Turkish forces and Turkish-backed militias in 2018 and 2019. Since then, the civilian population of this region lives under constant repression, bombings, extra-judicial killings through the use of drones and other forms of violence. As a result, tens of thousands of civilians are leaving their homes to find a safe place in neighbouring countries or in Europe.
