Since the U.N. General Assembly established the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism (IIIM) in 2016, this first-of-its-kind investigative body has played a critical role in collecting and analyzing evidence of crimes in Syria. On October 17, USIP hosted a discussion of the IIIM’s progress in collecting, consolidating, preserving and analyzing evidence of international humanitarian law and human rights violations in Syria.
