| [THEBAGHDADPOST] Somewhat eclipsed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the trial of two men accused of committing crimes against humanity on behalf of the Syrian state began in Germany this week. Witnesses, victims and a military defector gave evidence about the alleged atrocities that could lead to wider accusations. In addition, under "universal jurisdiction" Germany is investigating dozens of other Syrian former officials accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. On Thursday, Germany designated Hezbollah a terror organization and banned it from carrying out any activity on its soil. All this comes at an unfortunate time for Bashir al-Assad who, after ruthlessly regaining control of most of his territory, is looking to revive his international legitimacy. |
