THE CONFERENCE RECOMMENDATIONS AND DEMANDS
We consider the occupation of Afrin to be illegal and contrary to the principles and aims of the United Nations and to international law. Thus, we condemn all the practices of the Turkish occupation forces and call for:
1. The immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Turkish forces and their affiliated groups from
Afrin and all the Syrian territories they occupy.
2. Investigations into and exposure of all the violations committed by the Turkish army and the affiliated groups against civilians in Afrin, which has resulted in mass displacement and a humanitarian crisis.

adequate compensations for the victims.

5. The formation of an independent, impartial, and transparent judicial commission with the participation of representatives from the Syrian Federation for Human Rights, as well as humanitarian and womens’organizations in Syria. It shall consider all violations committed in Afrin since the beginning of the Turkish aggression on 20 January 2018, and refer perpetrators to local, regional and international courts in order to hold them accountable.
6. Cooperation with Syrian human rights and civic organizations in their investigations and
documentation of the various crimes committed by the Turkish occupying forces and their affiliate
groups since the beginning of the Turkish invasion on 20 January 2018, in order to prosecute the
perpetrators in International courts.
7. The safe return of the displaced people of Afrin and the reinstitution of the means to run their own affairs.
8. The relevant international bodies and institutions to provide all necessary economic and humanitarian assistance to the people in Afrin and the returning displaced people.
