The SJAC Weekly Update- April 2, 2013
Interview with Dr. Daniel Serwer onTransition in Syria
This week the SJAC interviews Dr. Daniel Serwer,
who brings his expertise to bear upon issues oftransitional justice in Syria. Dr. Serwer is a Professor
of Conflict Management, as well as a Senior Fellow
at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, at the
Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International
Studies. He is also a Scholar at the Middle East
Institute and served twice as a Vice President at the United States
Institute of Peace. Dr. Serwer was the Executive Director of the
Hamilton/Baker Iraq Study Group and has worked on preventing
interethnic and sectarian conflict in Iraq and has facilitated dialogue
between Serbs and Albanians in the Balkans. He blogs at
peacefare.net.
Q. The conflict in Syria has been described as possibly the most w ell-
documented modern conflict. Is this an important fact, do you think it will
have any significance going forward?
DS: I do think documentation is important, as it will limit factual
disputes in the future and may provide some basis for future efforts
at justice and reconciliation. Documentation also helps to sustain
international interest, which has been less than the revolutionaries
might like but more than would have existed otherwise.
But it is also important to recognize that not all the documentation
being collected will be relevant to questions of individual
responsibility or meet the standards required in a court. Judicial
standards are very exacting. To meet them will require preservation
of sites and government records in Syria. That may be very difficult,
depending on how the end of the Assad regime comes about.READ
