Since the beginning of the conflict in Syria, many war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed. This project supports the Syrian Legal Development Program (SLDP) work with Syrian civil society organizations (CSOs), to increase their understanding of how to use judicial systems and public institutions, to attain justice and hold perpetrators of crime accountable. The project also focuses on identifying and holding companies and business leaders that have committed crimes accountable. The SLDP works to accomplish this by providing Western governments with information that can help them develop more targeted and robust sanctions.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased ability of Syrian NGOs, including women-led NGOs, to creatively fight impunity; and (2) increased ability of stakeholders, including civil society and governments to influence and use alternative forms of accountability against perpetrators of financial crimes in Syria.
