Assad fled Syria after a lightning offensive spearheaded by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group and its allies, which brought a sudden end to five decades of repressive rule by his clan.<\/p>\n<p>The collapse of Assad\u2019s administration closes an era in which suspected dissidents were jailed or killed, and caps nearly 14 years of war that killed more than 500,000 people and displaced millions. It has allowed Syrians to flood to prisons, hospitals and morgues in search of long-disappeared loved ones, hoping for a miracle, or at least closure. \u201cI turned the world upside down looking,\u201d Abu Mohammed told AFP as he searched for news of three missing relatives at the Mezzeh Air Base in Damascus. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t find anything at all. We just want a hint of where they were, one percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sunni Muslim HTS is rooted in Syria\u2019s branch of Al-Qaeda and designated a terrorist organisation by many Western governments, who now face the challenge of how to approach the country\u2019s new transitional leadership. The group has sought to moderate its rhetoric, and the interim government insists the rights of all Syrians will be protected. \u201cWe respect religious and cultural diversity in Syria,\u201d government spokesman Obaida Arnaout told AFP on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>He said the country\u2019s constitution and parliament would be suspended during a three-month transition. \u201cA judicial and human rights committee will be established to examine the constitution and then introduce amendments,\u201d he said, pledging that \u201crule of law\u201d would be instituted. \u201cAll those who committed crimes against the Syrian people will be judged in accordance with the law,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders of the Group of Seven democratic powers, who will meet virtually at 1430 GMT Friday, said they were ready to support the transition to an \u201cinclusive and non-sectarian\u201d government in Syria. They called for the protection of human rights, including those of women and minorities, while emphasising \u201cthe importance of holding the Assad regime accountable for its crimes\u201d. And they said they would \u201cwork with and fully support\u201d a Syrian government that respected those principles.<\/p>\n<p>In similar messaging, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on a visit to Turkey, urged Syrian actors to take \u201call feasible steps to protect civilians, including members of minority groups\u201d, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said. Inside much of Syria, the focus for now is on unravelling the secrets of Assad\u2019s rule, and particularly the network of detention centres and suspected torture sites scattered across areas previously under government control. UN investigators said they have compiled secret lists of 4,000 perpetrators of serious crimes in Syria since the early days of the country\u2019s civil war.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaljournal.com\/world\/g7-to-meet-on-syria-government-pledges-rule-of-law\/article\">DJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/g7-to-meet-on-syria-government-pledges-rule-of-law\/\">G7 to meet on Syria, government pledges \u2018rule of law\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1539,2211,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-g7","tag-syria","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136038\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
