Three prominent activists and scholars with direct connections to Syria discuss war crimes, human rights and the human cost of the Syrian conflict in a panel presentation on “Accounting for Torture in Syria.”

The panelists are: Robert Ford, former U.S. Ambassador to Syria (2011-14), and now an outspoken critic of the Obama administration’s Syria strategy; Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syria Emergency Task Force; and Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch.
