SUMMARY:Syria's Disappeared: The Case Against Assad
DESCRIPTION:SPACE\, Oslo Dokumentarkino and FN-sambandet invite you to a screening of Syria’s Disappeared: The Case Against Assad followed by a panel discussion about the prospects of prosecuting war crime committed in Syria in Norwegian courts. \nAbout the film\nThis documentary tells the hidden story of tens of thousands of men\, women and children forcibly disappeared by the regime of Bashar al Assad into a network of clandestine detention centres. \nWith unprecedented access\, we follow survivors of detention\, families of detainees\, regime defectors and international war crimes investigators as they fight to bring the perpetrators to justice and desperately campaign for the release of the disappeared. \nThe film’s director Sara Afshar will introduce the film and participate in the discussion after the screening. \nAbout the panel discussion\nNorway and Germany are the only two European countries with pure universal jurisdiction over war crimes\, crimes against humanity\, and genocide – meaning that the law does not require any connection between Norway and the relevant grave international crimes committed abroad. In this panel debate we will examine the legal avenues to investigate the serious crimes committed in Syria and to prosecute the perpetrators. \n  \nAnwar al-Bunni is a Syrian human rights lawyer. He is one of the founders of the Syrian Human Rights Association and of a centre for the defence of journalists and political prisoners. As a lawyer\, al-Bunni was particularly involved in defending people who were prosecuted for expressing their opinions in non-violent ways. Al-Bunni spent five years (2006-2011) in the Syrian regime’s prisons after signing a declaration calling for democratic reform. Al-Bunni left Syria in 2014 and is now based in Berlin where he is working to build cases against war criminals in Syria and achieve transitional justice. \n\n  \nGro Nystuen is a lawyer and expert in international law. From 2005 she was Associate Professor of International Humanitarian Law/the Law on Armed Conflict at the University of Oslo and from 2008 also Associate Professor at the Defence Staff University College in Oslo. She has also worked in the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs from 1991 to 2005. \n\n  \nSara Afshar is a journalist and filmmaker. She is the director of “Syria’s Disappeared: The Case Against Assad”. She worked for the BBC for 16 years on its current affairs programmes\, Newsnight and Panorama. \n\n  \n  \nStephanie Barbour is a lawyer and senior adviser at the Commission for International Justice and Accountability. She has served as Amnesty’s International representative to the International Criminal Court and other international tribunals in The Hague. She has also worked on cases related to crimes against humanity\, in particular enforced disappearances and sexual violence\, in relation to the 1996 to 2006 conflict in Nepal\, intercommunal violence in India in 2001 and the Rwandan genocide in 1994. \n\n  \nMark Taylor (moderator) is a Senior Researcher at the Fafo research foundation. For two decades\, Mark has worked on legal and policy frameworks applicable to conflict and human rights\, writing and advising on regulatory responses to economic dimensions of armed conflict and business and human rights. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Aleppo: The City
DESCRIPTION:My Aleppo: When Memory Becomes Resistance – Lina Sergie Attar\n \nYou know Aleppo as a vast landscape of bombed and burning historic buildings\, cratered streets\, and endless lines of fleeing\, destitute families. But I will tell you about a time when things were different — when Aleppo was my home. \nSince 2011\, Syrians witnessed firsthand the simultaneous rebirth and destruction of their country on every scale: from home to nation. How does one express the collective and personal losses\, hopes\, regrets that have directly affected every Syrian? How does one absorb the traumatic everyday events devouring a country\, preserve memories of the past\, and look towards the future all at once? How do we reexamine the theories of urban trauma and national identity\, collective memory and constructed memorial\, heritage and reconstruction\, under the harsh reality of ongoing war and global mass displacement? Let us begin\, with a map of my Aleppo. \nAleppo City Market: Defining Space and Time – Annika Rabo\n \nAuthor of A shop of one’s own\, Independence and Reputation among Traders in Aleppo\, Rabo will share insights from her fieldwork during 1997-2002 in Souk al-Medina (the city’s market) as one of Aleppo’s key social urban institutions. As a site for social interaction and formative human experiences\, how do traders and customers interact and define time and space around them in the market? What does this tell us about the multi-faceted relationship between the state\, the people and the economy? \nSnapshots of Aleppo’s Social Urban History- Karam Nachar\n \nFrom the sixteenth to the eighteenth century\, Aleppo was the most important city in the Ottoman empire boasting an extremely rich and complex history. By universalizing the discussions of Aleppo\, Nachar will undo nostalgic historical accounts and demystify the charming discourse of the ancient oriental city. Like any other city\, Aleppo has its entangled worlds and complex class struggles. Karam Nachar will take us in a journey through the last four hundred years which gave rise to Aleppo as a world trade center. We will hear about the class- and sect-related tensions that this rise engendered in the city and continued to inform its social politics until our present day.

SUMMARY:The Story of Aleppo
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Aleppo\n  \nAt the beginning of the Syrian uprising\, Aleppo symbolized dissent to Assad rule culturally\, with its unique plethora of artistic\, cultural and civil society initiatives. The very same city that once represented hope is now the site of violence and despair. \n  \nThe story of Aleppo needs to be told. Only by making sense of what happened to Aleppo and its people can we make sense of the lasting impact this loss for civilization will have in the world. \n  \nIn our troubled world where extremism and populism are on the rise\, we need to rethink the impact of the destruction of the concept of the city that we witness in Syria will have around the world. We can achieve this by amplifying the voice of Syrians and listening to their stories.  We will once again use culture and art as our beautiful means to amplify these voices. \n  \nThe Question of Syria this year aims to address all the meanings and experiences that Aleppo embodies; from the lawless war and the Geneva Conventions\, to Aleppo’s cultural heritage\, passing by the heroic efforts of the first responders\, medics and the civil society. \n  \nOver two days\, we will break away from the mystical orientalist view of Aleppo to learn more about the social and economic divisions and contradictions that define the city. We will revisit the outburst of artistic and cultural forms of expression and resistance in the city and the country as a whole. Finally\, for the sake of the future of Syria\, and the world\, we will retrospectively analyze what happened in 2016. \n  \nMore information please see the Story of Aleppo page: https://masahat.no/story-of-aleppo \n  \nSupported by: \n \n\n\nIn partnership with: \n \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Aleppo: Revolutionary Culture
DESCRIPTION:Long before March 2011\, Syria was known as the “kingdom of silence”. All forms of artistic and public expression were controlled by the regime\, only those who mastered the regime’s censorship rule-book managed to sneak in their subtle message through the many red lines. From the outset of the uprising against tyranny in 2011\, public expression and art became a daily practice. Self-expression has been\, in essence\, the motor of the uprising; the creative spirit of the Syrian people was unleashed by the wave of protests around the country popularizing art and culture to become a defining face of the protest movement. But where are we today? With the population facing endless repression and the world seeming increasingly indifferent\, is art still a powerful tool for Syrians? \n  \nSpanish-Syrian professor and activist Leila Nachawati Rego will reflect on culture and communication in times of repression\, revolution and war\, with a special focus on Aleppo\, “the Syrian Gernika”. \n  \n \nLeila Nachawati is a Spanish-Syrian writer and storyteller. She is a Professor of Communications at Madrid’s Carlos III University. She is co-founder of the news portal on Syrian civil society SyriaUntold and has just published her first novel on citizen mobilisations and the Arab Spring\, Cuando la revolución termine. \n\n  \n  \n \nMarius Von Der Fehr is a Norwegian artist and writer based in Norway and Spain. He works with socially and politically engaged practices. He runs the international event series New Frontiers/Nuevas Fronteras. One of his last works\, the controversial National Apology (in cooperation with Pia Maria Roll) confronted the use of culture as a tool for whitewashing Israel’s violent policies. \n\n  \n  \nEvent picture: Dancing in the Streets of Death by Wissam al-Jazairy

SUMMARY:Aleppo: The Fall
DESCRIPTION:  \nLast year\, one of the worst human tragedies took place in Aleppo. After a few months of siege and indiscriminate shelling\, tens of thousands of people were evicted from the city. \nBeyond the horrific scenes of bombardment and forced mass eviction\, little reflection has followed on how and why these violations happened and what the implications are for the present and future Syria. \nWhy did Aleppo fall? Who is responsible and how to be held accountable? What was the role of the local armed factions in Aleppo? Who was negotiating on behalf of the civilians? Who was forced to leave eastern Aleppo and who was allowed to return after the fall? What is happening in Aleppo today? What are the protection needs of civilians living in Aleppo under Assad? \nLina Shamy will give a personal testimony of living under Aleppo’s siege before she was forced to leave with the last buses in December 2016. Dr. Mohamad Katoub will address the inhumane situation under the siege and put it into context with the use of siege as a war tactic against civilians in many other locations around Syria. Finally\, Karam Nachar will reflect on the meaning and implications of Aleppo’s catastrophe ending with an outlook on the near future of an increasingly fragmented country. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaram Nachar\n\n\nKaram Nachar is the Executive Director of AlJumhuriya.net\, an online journal that covers Syrian politics and culture\, and a Lecturer at Isik University\, Istanbul. Nachar completed his PhD in Modern History at Princeton University in 2014\, with focus on Cultural and Intellectual History of Modern Syria and Lebanon. Nachar holds a Masters in Modern Middle Eastern Studies from Oxford University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMohamad Katoub\n\n\nMohamad Katoub is a dentist and medical worker from Douma\, in Eastern Ghouta. He’s an advocacy manager for the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS)\, a humanitarian organization harnessing the talents of Syrian-American health care professionals to provide medical relief. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKristin Bergtora Sandvik\n\n\nKristin Bergtora Sandvik (moderator) is a Research Professor in Humanitarian Studies at Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and a professor of sociology of law at the University of Oslo. Sandvik obtained her doctorate from Harvard Law School in 2008\, and she is the Co-Founder and former Director of the Norwegian Center for Humanitarian Studies.
