Prof. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin Co-Authors Article in Just Security About Repatriating Alleged ISIS-Linked Men from Northeast Syria

In an article in Just Security Prof. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin and co-author Anne Charbord argued the need for repatriating alleged ISIS-linked me from Northeast Syria. Ní Aoláin and Charbord said of the thousands of men and boys captured between 2017 and 2019, and who have been held indefinitely by Syrian Democratic Forces, that "none of these men have ever been brought before a judge to determine whether they are rightfully and lawfully detained, and there is no law that would legally underpin their detention. Some were children at the time of their detention. Most have never been charged with any specific offense, and there is no prospect of a trial in the region (more on that later)."
