13 years of war & decades of oppression will require much more than vengeance and criminal justice. Full spectrum of broad transitional justice measures will be required for sustainable peace and healing of victims and society in #Syria. Hope powers that be or will be take this into consideration.

Looking forward to read the report in detail. Meanwhile, just want to draw attention to the plight of the families of the children who are still missing. Based on experience from Iraq, Sri Lanka etc, they are among most vulnerable categories of victims and are in need for urgent remedies and support
New report detailing Russia's systematic program of coerced adoption and fostering of Ukraine's children. This is likely to lead to new war crimes & crimes against humanity charges against Putin, Lvova-Belova & others. Madeline Babin, Isabel Gensler & I explain:

Agonistic spaces and relational autonomy! This paper excites me as philosopher by education and frustrates me as reparations/TJ practitioner by vocation. How on earth, we are supposed to bring such nuances into institutionalistic and hyper legalistic models practiced by states & int organizations?

It is difficult to reverse 1000 days of trauma, injuries and lost family members, limbs, friends, livelihoods, homes, childhood, education, but living among Ukrainians for almost two years, I learned that, with right and timely support, they are capable of moving onward and upward.

Last night, Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine's power grid. The grid is sometimes called a "dual use object," because it has both civilian and military uses. If you want to read more about dual use objects, check out this forthcoming article.
