On Tuesday, the Transitional Justice Commission held its first session in the city of Aleppo, characterized by a dialogue-based meeting aimed at introducing the commission and listening to the stories of victims, survivors, the families of the missing and forcibly disappeared, as well as legal professionals. This was done through expressing their visions and aspirations for the transitional justice process in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Hassan Jibran, a member of the National Transitional Commission, said, \u201cTransitional justice has arrived in Aleppo; we met with the victims\u2019 families and listened to them. This is the primary goal of the visit.\u201d He added in a statement to North Press, \u201cTransitional justice is a commission established in countries experiencing conflicts and profound changes in power structures. Its work focuses on the victim, aiming to uncover the truth, hold accountable and bring justice for all violations suffered by Syrians, then compensate the victims and repair their material and moral damages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Jibran explained that one of the tasks of transitional justice is to reform institutions suffering from structural dysfunction, such as the army and security agencies, to establish a more just and transparent system. He concluded by emphasizing, \u201cThe path of transitional justice is linked to civil peace. Civil peace cannot be achieved without true justice, and justice is only realized by criminalizing the perpetrator and compensating the victim, repairing the victims\u2019 material and moral damages as they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This step comes within the framework of the National Transitional Commission\u2019s efforts to pursue justice and reconciliation in Syria, as transitional justice constitutes an essential part of building lasting peace and achieving societal stability after years of conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
