Prof. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin Quoted in Podcast About Austrian Obligations to Repatriate its Nationals From Syrian Prisons 

Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin was quoted on an Austrian podcast calling for that government to repatriate its nationals from Syrian prison camps. The nationals include a woman and two children she met last year while visiting the camps as U.N. Special Rapporteur on the protection of human rights while countering terrorism. The Kurdish representatives of the autonomous administration of northern and eastern Syria have repeatedly called for the countries of origin to take back their citizens and bring them to justice. “The women must be brought home,” Prof. Ní Aoláin said. “I work with security services in many countries. And many of the security experts say: ‘Bring them back!’ That is an obligation under international law.”
