Five years have passed since Turkish military forces and a coalition of T\u00fcrkiye-backed Syrian armed groups took over the entire district of Afrin in northern Syria. Living under occupation, locals of Afrin have been subjected to countless violations on a daily basis. The ongoing violations and the inflicted constant fear forced tens of thousands of civilians to flee their homes without any hope of imminent return.<\/p>\n

The Afrin offensive was simultaneous with another by the Syrian government forces and their Russian allies against Eastern Ghouta<\/a>. Regime troops and allies recaptured Ghouta from rebels, after a blistering assault, which killed hundreds and ended in a Russia and T\u00fcrkiye-brokered surrender deal. The deal transferred tens of thousands of opposition fighters and original residents out of the area and resettled them in parts of Syria\u2019s north, including Afrin.<\/p>\n

Independent international organizations and United Nations committees documented violations of various kinds in Afrin, including killing<\/a> in unlawful attacks, arbitrary detention<\/a>, enforced disappearance, ill-treatment, torture<\/a>, looting<\/a>, and confiscation of property<\/a>. Furthermore, hindering the return of displaced original residents, especially the Kurds, as well as acts of Turkification and demographic change have been monitored.<\/p>\n

Lack of accountability for these grave human rights violations, in addition to the persistence of impunity make the Turkish-occupied territories completely unsafe, and do not comply with the criteria of voluntary return<\/a> set by the United Nations. All this while almost 70% of Afrin\u2019s original residents are still forcibly displaced since 2018.<\/p>\n

In its latest report<\/a>, issued on 7 March 2023, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic confirmed the continuation of arbitrary arrests and detentions by the Syrian National Army (SNA) in Afrin. The Commission confirmed that witnesses interviewed for the purpose of the report revealed cases of beating, torture, and ill-treatment in places of detention and during interrogations, with the presence of Turkish officials. In addition, the Commission\u2019s report cited cases of civilian property seizure with reports from interviewees of being prevented from regaining access to their properties and threatened if they tried to claim them back. Furthermore, the Commission said that it continued documenting cases of rape and other forms of sexual violence, perpetrated by SNA members, including of children.<\/p>\n

As an occupying power, T\u00fcrkiye has not assumed its responsibilities in areas under its influence in northern Syria, including Afrin. No real action has been taken by the Turkish authorities to ensure the protection of civilians; T\u00fcrkiye rather gave its SNA proxies a free hand to commit human rights violations against the original residents of those areas. Even the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces failed to stop the human rights violations of the SNA, which supposedly operates under it. Therefore, the undersigned organizations urge the UN Security Council to take the necessary measures; to provide appropriate conditions for the safe, dignified, and voluntary return of the residents of Afrin and all Syrians, to redress victims, and to punish perpetrators.<\/p>\n

The signatory organizations make the recommendations below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The United Nations<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To cease attempts of ignoring and circumventing the situation in Afrin and other Syrian parts occupied by T\u00fcrkiye, and compel the latter to assume its responsibilities as an occupying power under international law.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Turkish Government<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      • To stop politicizing the situation of northern Syria\u2019s population and turning a blind eye to the human rights abuses that they have been subjected to. This is with the aim to evade recognizing the Turkish presence in Syria as an occupation; which has been already proven by international committees and human rights organizations citing T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s effective and direct control over northern Syrian territories.<\/li>\n
      • To take all measures \u2013 within its authority \u2013 necessary to ensure public safety and order and provide special protection for women and children in the areas under its control and stop the gross violations of human rights that its forces and allied militias continue to commit against civilians.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        1. The Human Rights Council\/The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic: To provide a comprehensive and accurate briefing on the intertwined web of roles and interests of all foreign\/external powers intervening in the Syrian conflict, and its reflection on the state of compliance with the International humanitarian law (IHL) international human rights law (IHRL).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
