Amuda – North-Press Agency
The sessions of the third and final day of the International Forum on ISIS which is held in the town of Amuda in northern Syria, as the subsequent sessions and dialogues were devoted to the “The legal aspects of ISIS terrorism.”
Human rights lectures were delivered in the first session followed by lectures in the second session which focused on the legal proposals that may contribute to finding legal methods and courts to try ISIS militants, detained by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in north and east of Syria.
In this context, Dr. Thoreau Redcrow, an American Global Conflict Analyst and Kurdish Studies Scholar, and a lecturer at the International Forum told North-Press: “A tribunal must be held to know ISIS guilty fighters who have come to the region,” demanding France, the United States, Canada, and Germany to repatriate their citizens.
Redcrow stated that the responsibility of ISIS militants who are detained by the Syrian Democratic Forces, lies on the whole world, pointing out that the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and SDF did a favor for the world by defeating ISIS.
While lawyer Luqman Khidr Ibrahim, a member of the Human Rights Committee of Trying ISIS in North and East of Syria, told North-Press that the way to eliminate the remaining radical ideology of ISIS in the region needs “a long-term treatment, patience, an enlightening, and the reforming of the educational system”.
On the third and last day of the forum, the sessions focused on presenting proposals and solutions to address the elimination of the radical ideology in the environment of post-ISIS territories, in an attempt to find legal ways and meaningful courts to try the ISIS-detained militants in northeastern Syria.
