We are an independent network of lawyers, human rights activists, law students and anyone interested in international justice for Syria. The network of Syrian lawyers, law students and human rights defenders was established in January 2016. The network consists of 50 active core members and more than 300 partners and collaborators.
Our work
Syria Legal Network-NL is a network that assists Syrian lawyers and human rights activists residing in the Netherlands to settle in Dutch – legal – society and to contribute to international justice for Syria. Our activities focus on the documentation of international crimes and training in international law.
