War crimes by both sides in the Syrian Civil War

Apart from some US led 'Human Rights' reports, this is one of the most shameful, one-sided and pro-FSA disinformation to be found.

I couldn't agree more. LvcAK47 (talk) 12:21, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Syrian refugee brides

"Men across the region are now seeking Syrian brides. In Turkey and Jordan, where refugee camps pepper the landscape, the desperation of the Syrians is far easier to spot as rich Persian Gulf men scour the camps to buy brides living in tents. Rape, child brides and temporary marriages are prevalent.

“People are marrying off their daughters for as little as 100 Jordanian dinars ($70) because of the bad circumstances inside the camp in return for money,” said Marwa al Saloumy, who works on women’s issues for a regional advocacy group called Al Zahra."[1]

Sentence in the lead

I have added a qualification to the lede statement that "the vast majority of human rights abuses are being committed by government forces". It now specifies that this is from a 2012 report. I would also like to research whether there are more recent reliable reports that could be sued to update the information.--Luke Warmwater101 (talk) 09:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Updating

As suggested by Luke Warmwater101, I will go through and update this article. Please keep an eye open for typos! IMABibliophile (talk) 18:59, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Please, update then [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.57.129 (talk) 06:37, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

• I think that this

"Not all reports have proved accurate: Zainab al-Hosni, who was purportedly beheaded by Syrian authorities, later turned out to be alive."

Can be removed as undue, since we are talking about one incident in context of 10,000+ people, which according to Amnesty is an understatement.

• Same goes for:

"In May 2012, Al Arabiya aired leaked footage of a man being tortured in a government detention centre in Kafranbe"

If that facility is the same one discussed in the last paragraph with evidence of "systematic killing" of about 11,000 detainees.--PLNR (talk) 11:18, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

Update using UN report please

I have redone the introduction using more recent sources however there is still a lot of information that needs to be updated. Here is a UN report on the humanitarian situation in Syria: http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/HRCouncil/CoISyria/A.HRC.27.60_Eng.pdf I am sure there are far more qualified people then me to update the rest of this article.

US and France

US and France Amnesti Internattional - In the United States the organization after years of conflict, blamed for the deaths of 300 civilians in Iraq and Syria. General Staff of the Russian Federation when it accused the United States for the deaths of 60 people (mostly children), only one hit in the US response had promised to launch an investigation. Russia submitted to the United Nations list of US attacks in 2015 led to the deaths of hundreds of civilians. July 19, 2016 120 civilians were killed in air strikes by French Air Force in Syria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.162.80.112 (talk) 09:41, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

None of these are reliable sources, and this is a talk page, not a soapbox. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:11, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Human rights violations during the Syrian Civil War

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Human rights violations during the Syrian Civil War's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "leader":

• From Ajnad al-Sham Islamic Union: Leith Fadel (26 February 2016). "Top rebel commander killed in Darayya amid Syrian Army advance". Al-Masdar News. Retrieved 26 February 2016.
• From Omari Brigades: "Blinded by feuds, Syria's southern rebels turn guns on one another". The National. 16 November 2014. Retrieved 30 November 2014.
• From 2014 Latakia offensive: "Leader of the Free Syrian Army: Battle of the "coast" entered a phase of stagnation". Syriahr.com. 15 April 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:41, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Turkey

Re this diff by SterkenAzad: this is very important material which should be in the article, but this is an undue amount of text in the context of the whole article. Should there by a full version in the Turkish involvement in the Syrian Civil War article (perhaps a new section there on Human rights violations?) so we can have a more concise summary here. BobFromBrockley (talk) 08:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Airwars

Re this edit: I strongly think that killing civilians in air strikes is generally considered a human rights violation, and the fact the number includes Iraq (as the text made clear) is not a reason to exclude. BobFromBrockley (talk) 12:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
