The fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has led to celebrations mixed with horror as evidence of his regime's atrocities emerges, including mass graves and torture. Calls for accountability are growing, but legal and political obstacles remain, particularly due to the lack of ICC jurisdiction over Syria. Experts express hope for future accountability if geopolitical conditions change, while emphasizing the importance of preserving evidence for trials. Universal jurisdiction allows for prosecution in non-Syrian courts, with some cases already filed in various countries. The need for a Syrian-led push towards justice is highlighted.
