Rebuilding Syria: Truth, Trials, and Transition

When authoritarian regimes collapse and wars come to an end, one question looms over everything: What happens next? As Syria faces the task of rebuilding after years of war and dictatorship, difficult issues will emerge. From prosecuting war crimes to reforming security forces, from truth commissions to political reintegration, the road ahead is full of tough questions. Can justice and stability go hand in hand, or will one come at the expense of the other? What lessons can Syria draw from other post-conflict transitions? And how can Syrians ensure that justice is not just a slogan, but a foundation for lasting peace?

In this episode, host Heba Bawaieh speaks with Dr. Paul Williams and Professor Milena Sterio to unpack these critical questions and challenges. Tune in as we break it all down.
