Justice Minister, Mazhar al-Wais discussed on Tuesday with Fadel Abdulghany, head of the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), mechanisms for cooperation in the fields of transitional justice and the promotion of human rights.
The two sides reviewed the role of human rights organizations in ongoing and future trials, and how their involvement can help enhance transparency and ensure legal safeguards are upheld.
Speaking to SANA following the meeting, Abdulghani said the primary goal of coordination with the Ministry of Justice is to advance the path of transitional justice in Syria. He stressed that the network is open to such cooperation, given the ministry’s pivotal role in this historic phase.
He added that discussions focused on ways to activate and expand joint cooperation, particularly regarding ongoing trials, in addition to examining legal cases filed against the former regime.
Abdulghani noted that the network intends to contribute more effectively to the justice process by relying on the extensive documentation and data it has collected throughout the years of the Syrian uprising.
