BGH confirms ruling on war crimes in Syria
The Federal Court of Justice has upheld a ruling on war crimes in Syria based on a historic trial from 2020.
The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has confirmed a ruling concerning war crimes in Syria. This ruling followed the world's first criminal trial held in 2020 at the Koblenz Regional Court, which dealt with Syrian state torture.
The case focused on serious allegations against Syrian state officials that arose in the context of the civil war in Syria. The confirmation by the BGH marks another step in the legal clarification of war crimes in this conflict.
