Beyond Conflict: Transitional Justice, Counterterrorism, and the Future of al-Hol Camp in Syria

As Syria grapples with the aftermath of prolonged conflict, critical challenges remain unanswered: How can transitional justice mechanisms pave the way for long-term peace and reconciliation? What future strategies in counterterrorism will effectively dismantle remaining extremist networks, particularly those associated with ISIS? And what sustainable solutions exist for the al-Hol camp, which houses thousands linked to ISIS, including women and children?
Join a panel of leading women experts and practitioners in an online discussion exploring these pressing issues. Moderated by Senior Research Fellow Omar Mohammed, the event will critically examine ongoing transitional justice efforts, analyze counterterrorism policies, and discuss viable humanitarian and security pathways for addressing the complex realities of the al-Hol camp. Panelists will offer forward-thinking insights and policy recommendations for international actors, governments, and humanitarian organizations aiming to foster stability and security in Syria and beyond.
