She says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe parties that armed Syrians as mercenaries exploited them when they were at their most vulnerable. It was easy to turn them into what they are now. The bad economic conditions played a major role in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2020 and 2021, STJ and SJAC <a href=\"https:\/\/stj-sy.org\/en\/mercenarism-in-syria-predatory-recruitment-and-the-enrichment-of-criminal-militias\/\">documented<\/a> the methods by which <a href=\"https:\/\/stj-sy.org\/en\/turkeys-recruitment-of-syrian-mercenaries-to-fight-in-libya-process-and-legal-consequences\/\">Turkey<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stj-sy.org\/en\/in-collusion-with-the-syrian-government-a-russian-security-company-recruits-thousands-of-syrians-as-mercenaries-to-fight-in-libya-alongside-haftar\/\">Russia<\/a> and their local partners in Syria had recruited mercenaries primarily for combat in Libya and Azerbaijan. The documentation revealed how the <a href=\"https:\/\/stj-sy.org\/en\/syrian-mercenaries-in-libya-commanders-and-recruits-involved-in-serious-violations\/\">predatory<\/a> system of recruitment in Syria was enriching criminal militias\u2013especially in the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA)\u2013that were committing egregious human rights violations in Syria as well as the foreign battlefields to which they were being sent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This submission comes after conflict in Azerbaijan has ceased and UN-brokered talks have initiated the repatriation of foreign fighters from Libya. However, approximately 5,000 mercenaries remain in Libya, while the dire humanitarian conditions in Syria that incentivized mercenary recruitment in the first place have only worsened.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stj-sy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Complaint-to-the-UN-Working-Group-on-the-Use-of-Mercenaries.pdf\"><strong>To read the report in full as a PDF, follow this link.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syrians for Truth and Justice (STJ), the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC), Hevdest\u00ee Association for Victims in North and East Syria, and other local Syrian organizations presented an update&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":16432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"link","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[374,2],"tags":[23,618,540,172,619,714,430,36,181],"class_list":["post-16437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-link","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-picks","category-investigative-reports","tag-internally-displaced-idps","tag-mercenaries-recruitment","tag-russia","tag-Syria","tag-syrian-mercenaries","tag-syrian-mercenaries-2","tag-the-national-army-national-coalition-for-syrian-revolutionary-and-opposition-forces","tag-Torture-and-Ill-treatment","tag-Turkey","post_format-post-format-link"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
