The Permanent Missions of Qatar and Liechtenstein to the United Nations hosted a briefing by civil society organisations working on accountability issues in Syria and Iraq; namely, CIJA, Syria Justice and Accountability Centre, and Syria Accountability Project. Held on 28 October 2016, the briefing was attended by roughly 8-12 country representatives (primarily European and Gulf countries) who have prioritised accountability in Syria and Iraq, or who are interested in doing so. CIJA Senior Staff provided a briefing on CIJA’s investigative work and operations. The meeting and CIJA’s participation was indeed successful with positive feedback by participants that CIJA’s mandate and operations were distinctive in the field and a much needed resource to international and domestic atrocity accountability efforts.
