Abstract

The ongoing civil war in Syria witnessed a huge number of human rights violations and commission of heinous crimes including crimes against humanity, war crimes and other forms of violations. The opposition groups seem to be ambivalent on how to deal with these crimes after the end of civil war. Even though they argue that they will not go after revenge, they do not appear to favor transitional justice mechanisms including amnesty or truth commissions. However, they are also aware that it is not possible to prosecute everybody who committed crimes during the war. Lack of an agreement among the main figures of the opposition groups in this issue is visible. Yet they do not translate it into a source of dissension among them; instead, they express their goodwill to have an agreement that would satisfy all.
