❗️UN investigation finds possible war crimes by multiple parties in Syria
A UN investigation reported on Friday that over 1,700 people were killed, nearly 200,000 displaced, and multiple actors, including Syrian government forces, tribal fighters, and Druze armed groups, committed acts that may constitute war crimes in southern Syria in July 2025.
The 85-page report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic found that at least 1,707 people were killed in Suwayda Governorate, mostly civilians from the Druze minority, along with members of the Bedouin community and at least 225 government personnel.
The UN Commission stated that violations were committed by all major parties to the fighting.
The report noted that tribal fighters accompanying government forces during the initial phase of the operation acted under the state’s effective control, making their actions attributable to the government, while other fighters were considered direct participants in hostilities.
