Prof. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin Quoted by U.S. News On The Separation of Syrian Boys From Their Mothers In Detention Camps
U.S. News extensively covered Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin's trip to Syrian detention camps as U.N. rapporteur on the protection of rights while countering terrorism. Professor Ní Aoláin explained, “The taking of these boys may in itself constitute a disappearance practice under international law, which is in direct contravention of multiple human rights obligations.”
