The Tragedy of Syria

In syria there has been a war going on for the past 6 years. Throughout thoses 6 years family and kids have been driven from their homes. This conflict started when the syrian people and there goverment. From country and theri people involved.

The Syrian Civil War has had a profound effect of all Syrians as well as neighbouring countries and the international community. With more than 11 million homeless Syrians comes consequences beyond what most of the world population has ever experienced or anticipated. Of the displaced, almost 5 million are refugees outside Syria and around 6 million have been displaced inside Syria, with half of all displaced Syrians being children. The main causes of displacement amongst the population is the violence committed by all sides of the war, and which often targets civilians or centres of high civilian activity (such as markets, hospitals, schools, workplaces or high density residential areas). One main group heavily affected by the conflict

Because of the traumatic events that happened and are still happening in Syria, if I got a ticket and could go anywhere, I would go to Syria. Seven years go, Syria turned into a full-scale civil war. Syrians were angered by the high unemployment rate, political woes, and the lack of freedom. This brought many to protest and escalate violence. The Syrian government then reacted by comannading the Syrian air force to drop two chemical bombs on Syrian civilians. These bombs killed at least 89 people and injured 541 others. I know many people would stay clear of a place like this but I have been taught that when you see someone in need of help, you help. Yes, the threat of getting hurt, or worse, is imminent but how could any human being turn their head on these poor people.

Since the start of the Syrian civil war, over 250,000 people have been killed in acts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The United Nations has recently declared acts of genocide and crimes against humanity to be occurring in Syria, yet a massive military intervention has yet to occur. The conflict has now begun to effect mainland Europe and western powers, as the rise of ISIS has become a threat to the whole of the international community. With Germany taking in millions of refugees, they have absorbed most of the inherent terror risk, but with the recent airport bombings in Brussels and the attacks in Paris, ISIS has shown that if they are not met in Syria with grand military force now, they can and will carry out these same terror attacks in the United States and other western countries including Canada and the United Kingdom. This paper will give a brief overview of the history of the current Syrian conflict starting in 2011, and will determine whether the United Nations and the international community has jurisdiction to intervene with military force under specific documents like the Rome Statute, the United Nations 2005 Outcome Document, the United Nations Charter, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and by comparing the current Syrian conflict to the Libyan Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973. Lastly, this paper will provide options for Prime Minister Trudeau for Canada 's participation under the legal jurisdiction of

Genocide is the brutal killing of a large group of people, in most cases it is based on their nationality or ethnicity. Genocide is occurring in Syria. This means that many civilians are being killed for doing nothing wrong. The crisis in Syria started out since 2011. The Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad, started attacking peaceful protesters with many deadly sources. Those actions have now caused a civil war between soldiers who support the president and the rebels who do not want to see the president in power. Families are leaving to look for safety and a better future. Many Syrians are forced to flee their country and are becoming refugees. The crisis in Syria has caused the greatest refugee movements in our recent history. Syrians are

The Syrian War is a pressing issue that has been going on for over five years. This war, which started as peaceful protests against the Assad Government, has turned into a struggle for power within Syria which has resulted in a massive humanitarian crisis. There have been eleven million Syrian refugees and over two hundred fifty thousand people that have been killed, half of those people being civilians. To make matters worse, ISIS is on the rise in Syria. This war is not only an internal conflict. It involves many international powers, including Russia, China, and the United States, that have picked sides between backing the Assad Government or the rebels. These two sides cannot agree on a solution to end this war, determine leadership in

In Syria, the relatively conservative, patriarchal and politically repressive pre-war society posed limitations on women’s rights movements and for advocacy of greater political freedoms, social justice, non-discrimination and gender equality. Although, Syria arguably grants greater rights to women than most other countries in the middle east, discrimination against women is clearly found in its laws relating to women’s personal status and role in the family, including issues related to marriage, inheritance, custody, divorce, and gender-based violence. Conservative interpretations of Sharia law largely influence these laws and has entrenched cultural and religious norms with regards to female behavior and the concept of ‘family honor.’

There are war crimes being committed in Syria. The conflict started during 2011 Arab Spring protests. The country has been crippled by a brutal civil war ever since. The violence has reached terrifying proportions. According to local Syrian groups, as of February 2016, the conflict’s death toll topped 470,00 people, including more than 100,000 civilians.(The New York Times) Even the lowest estimates place the number in the hundred-thousands. About 7.6 million people are internally displaced, One in a five Syrian is now refugee. More than four million Syrians have fled their homes. Neighboring countries take in most refugees. (UCHR). Around 14000 children were killed. The Assad regime and the rebel groups were already investigated, and the Assad regime implicated in the use of chemical weapons of war by UN auditors.

Since the Syrian Civil War began in 2011 many countries have gotten involved on both sides, Russia, China, and Iran have placed their support behind the President of Syria Bashar al-Assad, while countries like France, the United States, and those in the European Union and United Nations support the rebel group of the Syrian National Coalition. I am going to be advising French officials President Francois Hollande and Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault on how to end the Syrian Civil War with the help of European, American, and Russian forces.

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the

In 2011, a few years prior to the bombing of the Temple of Baalshamin, Syria officially became a country plagued by continuous conflict. A civil uprising began against the government of the country and started what is now known as the Syrian Civil War. Mass numbers of Syrian individuals were displeased with what they felt was a corrupt political regime ruling their country and sought to create a better way of life through their pro democracy protest. Unfortunately, as the government fought back and Syrian citizens continued to protest, shots were fired and the country collectively spiraled out of control leaving around eighty percent of the population in poverty by 2015. In an attempt to establish order amidst all the social turmoil,

Syria which formerly was called Al Sham or Levant is located in Western Asia. This country has borders with Turkey to the north Iraq to the east Jordan to the south Israel to the south east and Lebanon and Mediterranean Sea to the west. Before 1516 Syria was part of Mamluk Empire centered in Egypt. In 1516 the Ottoman Sultan, Selim, conquered Syria, after defeating the Mamluk near Aleppo in Northern Syria. After sometimes he changed the whole Syria into one Eyalat named Sam (Syria). During the course of history the number of Eyalats was growing and in 1877. It had six provinces which were Aleppo Vilayet, Sanjak of Zor, Beirut Vilayet, Damascus vilaytat, Mutasarrifate of Mount Lebanon and Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. Now the modern Syria which was established after First World War has fourteen governorates or Muhafazat. Each of the governorates is divided into sixty districts or Mantiqa, which are further divided into sub districts (Nahiya). Every Nahiya encompasses villages which are considered the smallest administrative unite. Each governorate is governed by a governor and is appointed by the ministry of interior and must gain the approval of the cabinet. The capital of the Syria is Damascus, which is located in the south of Syria.

The modern Syria obtained its self-rule from France, it colony, in 1946. However, the country has experienced political instability periods compelled through the clashing interests of religious and ethnic groups. Between 1958 and 1961 Syria united with Nasser's Egypt, but independence was restored through an army coup that took place before a renaissance led by the Baath party that controlled of Syria in 1963 (Diamond & Plattner, 2012) . The party has been in control of the country ever since, but the Arab uprising that began in 2011 appears to have cast doubt on the continuity of the Baath government. The civil war in Syria developed from the trendy uprising against President Bashar al-Assad regime in early 2011 during the Arab Spring uprisings that affected the Middle East.

In March of 2011, a civil war broke out in Syria due to “nationwide protests demanding President Assad’s resignation,” according to BBC News. In response to the protests, the government fought back with legitimate force, which only heightened the tensions in Syria. As of 2013, a new extremist jihadist group, the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, rose up. In addition to the rise of this radical terrorist group, various other rebel forces, such as the Kurds, sprung up within, and outside of Syria—all with one common interest in mind: to fill the possible power vacuum if and when President Assad is taken out of power. Nations have also found themselves involved in the Syrian civil war, such as the United States and Turkey, who are
