Today, the Swiss Federal Court issued an arrest warrant for Rifaat al-Assad, the former Syrian vice president and current uncle.
We worked on this file with our partners in TRIAL International ten years ago. Thanks to the lawyers and officials of TRIAL International, and a big thank you to the victims and witnesses who did not back down and were not afraid.
Inevitably, this arrest warrant came late, but it is certainly an assurance that justice will come as long as there are those who demand it. And an assurance to the criminals that there is no impunity and that they will not have a safe place except in the dark holes
