Syrian Opposition to Launch Justice Commission
Some people in Syria are starting a special group to look into bad things that happened during the Assad era, like a judge for the whole country.
This group will try to figure out who did wrong and hold them accountable.
This might make it harder for other countries to invest in Syria, meaning Syria might find it difficult to rebuild.
Also, the countries that don't like Syria's current leaders will keep their restrictions in place.
A new transitional justice commission is set to launch in Syria.
The commission aims to address human rights abuses and war crimes during the Assad era.
The initiative is driven by Syrian opposition and diaspora organizations.
This challenges the legitimacy of the Assad regime.
The launch may deter foreign investment due to political and legal risks.
