SUMMARY:Narrative Wars: The Politics of Memory
DESCRIPTION:Why should we watch films about war and unbearable human suffering? \nThe Syrian war is not only fought with guns and bombs\, but also with words and narratives. The Syrian regime is funding efforts to manipulate the Syrian story while others are documenting regime war crimes. Such “narrative wars” are not unique to Syria. They are a normal occurrence during and after violent conflicts\, including ethnic cleansing and genocides. \nThe Holocaust\, the Nakba and the Syrian war all have one thing in common: Efforts to document and remember these historical injustices have been crucial to get justice for the victims. \nThe film For Sama is a difficult\, yet important\, film to watch. It reminds us to ask critical questions such as: why is it important to document and bear witness to the horrors of the past? Who is responsible for preserving the narrative? Is it pursuable\, or even possible\, to agree on one grand narrative? Can preserved narratives and collective memories redeem the victims? \nPanel: \n\nUğur Ümit Üngör\, Professor of History at Amsterdam University\nNadim Khoury\, Associate Professor in International Studies at Lillehammer University College\nCora Alexa Døving\, senior researcher at the Norwegian Holocaust Center\nModerator: Line Khateeb\, SPACE Chair of the Board\n\nThis event is part of HUMAN International Documentary Festival.

SUMMARY:Fighting War Crimes in Syria – Can Norway Play a Part?
DESCRIPTION:Film: Syria’s Disappeared: The Case Against Assad\nUK/ 2017 / 50 min / Dir: Sara Afshar \nTens of thousands of Syrians have been tortured and killed in secret prisons\, by the Assad regime. The Film Syria’s Disappeared – The Case Against Assad by Sara Afshar brings forward testimonies from victims and asks the question; is it possible to prosecute the people behind these crimes? \nMazen Alhummada is one of the characters in the film. He was arrested and brutally tortured in a state controlled prison. Today he lives in exile and fights for justice for the victims of torture and murder in Assads prisons. \nWe also meet investigators\, journalists and lawyers working to fight impunity in Syria. \nPanel talk: Fighting War Crimes in Syria – Can Norway Play a Part?\nWar crimes that go unpunished\, leaves a crippled society. Countless human rights violations\, and crimes have been committed in Syria since the beginning of the uprising in the spring of 2011. Those responsible remain largely unpunished. \nIn November 2019\, a group of Syrian plaintiffs filed criminal complaints with Norwegian police and asked for investigations of named heads of Syrian intelligence services and other institutions responsible for torture and other grave abuses.\nOn this background\, we ask politicians\, legal experts\, activists\, and victims who have found protection in Norway\, how Norwegian authorities and authorities in other democratic countries can contribute to fighting impunity in Syria. \nPanel \n\nIbrahim Olabi\, Barrister at Guernica 37 and Director of Syrian Legal Development Programme\nBrynjulf Risnes\, lawyer\, Matrix Advokater – Defense and Litigation Attorneys\nSofie Høgestøl\, Associate Professor\, Faculty of Law UiO\nGunnar Ekeløve-Slydal\, Director of policies\, the Norwegian Helsinki Committee\nLawrence Almala Ali\, torture survivor from Syria.\nPetter Eide\, MP Socialist Left Party\, Norway\nBritta Redwood\, Legal Fellow\, European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR)\nModerator: Stig-Arild Pettersen\n\n  \n \nThis event is part of HUMAN International Documentary Festival\, in cooperation with The Norwegian Helsinki Committee and SPACE.

SUMMARY:Humanitarian Aid and the War Economy in Syria
DESCRIPTION:While humanitarian aid is key in Syria\, questions need to be asked about how the procurement of goods and services by humanitarian and development actors\, using international funding\, can contribute to a war-crime-economy. The Syrian Legal Development Programme (SLDP) has conducted extensive research into businesses that supply aid groups\, including the UN\, and how some of these businesses are sanctioned for human rights abuses. The seminar will share the findings of this research\, discuss the challenges in operating in a conflict zone like Syria from the perspective of business and human rights\, and discuss some solutions that donors and aid agencies could take to mitigate the negative impact of their operations. \nAn opening introduction will be held by Ibrahim Olabi who is the founder and director of The Syrian Legal Development Programme (SLDP). A panel discussion will then follow\, with Trude Falch (Norwegian People’s Aid) and Kristoffer Lidén (PRIO). Jørgen Jensehaugen (PRIO) will chair the seminar. \nTrude Falch’s comments will take the perspective of the INGOs and discuss the operational aspects and dilemmas we face while operating in a country under heavy international sanctions and subject to anti-terror legislation where everything we do is in risk of contributing to a war or even war-crime-economy. Kristoffer Lidén will give a reflection on the ethical dilemmas raised by Olabi’s talk. \nThis seminar is free and open to all\, but registration is required on PRIO’s website. \nSpeakers\n\nIbrahim Olabi is UK barrister at Guernica 37 International Justice Chambers\, and the founder of the Syrian Legal Development Programme. He is also a UK-based lawyer with specialised international law knowledge and experience related to the Syrian conflict.\nTrude Falch is Head of Middle East and North Africa section in Norwegian People’s Aid and has overseen the organisation’s programming in Syria since 2012. Norwegian People’s Aid works with local organisations to provide humanitarian and longer-term support in Syria.\nKristoffer Lidén is a Senior researcher at PRIO\, with a PhD in Philosophy. He coordinates the PRIO Research Group on Law and Ethics and is Deputy Director of the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies (NCHS). His current research centres on the ethics of international affairs\, with a focus on the fields of security\, humanitarianism\, peacebuilding and new technology.\n\n  \nThe seminar is co-hosted by the PRIO Middle East Centre\, the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies (NCHS) and SPACE – Syrian Peace Action Centre.
