La Siria del Nord-Est è sotto assedio, il confederalismo democratico del Rojava è in grave pericolo e rischia di essere spazzato via, una luce di speranza socialista e libertaria potrebbe spegnersi, ma almeno l'attenzione è alta, perché i media si stanno talmente occupando di questo tema che quasi ho rischiato di perdermi la notizia sugli occhiali di Macron stile Top Gun che stanno andando a ruba, notizia in bella evidenza su Ansa.

PS E invece stanno ampiamente ignorando l'argomento.

Syria: One Year Since Assad’s Fall

Syrian transitional authorities have taken positive steps on justice, transparency and rights but failed to prevent continued violence and a

[...] Human Rights Watch has documented abuses by government forces and affiliated groups that amounted to war crimes in coastal areas and Sweida. There are also credible reports that the government is failing to prevent abuses against minorities in Syria by groups sympathetic to the current government. The inability or unwillingness of current Syrian authorities to rein in and seek genuine accountability for these abuses, undermines trust in its ability to maintain peace and security and protect rights, Human Rights Watch said.

As transitional authorities have sought to integrate the various armed factions into the official Syrian army and security forces, the inclusion of certain units without careful vetting has created an opening for abusive practices and lack of discipline.

Syria’s commitment to investigate atrocities in the coastal areas and Sweida is commendable. However, concerns remain about its ability to credibly investigate and hold accountable high-level officials and there are major gaps in Syria’s criminal justice framework that cannot be compromised in ongoing trials, including a lack of liability for command responsibility.

Transitional contexts may, at times, necessitate implementing reforms incrementally. However, this does not apply to issues that compromise fundamental rights, such as abuses by armed forced. The Syrian authorities have taken important steps to provide accountability for past abuses, including the creation of the National Commission for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared to determine what happened thousands of missing and disappeared.

This is an important first step. Yet, seven months on, victims and family members of the disappeared are rightly frustrated by the lack of institutional pathways to engage the commission and lack of transparency around its operations. Forcible disappearances and arbitrary detentions have been a staple of the former government’s playbook. Other actors, including Hay’et Tahrir al-Sham and the Islamic State, also kidnapped and disappeared many Syrians.

Syrian authorities bear the primary responsibility to establish the fate of the missing. Relevant international institutions specialized in the search for the missing are available to authorities, and they should fully leverage this expertise. The authorities and relevant institutions should ensure that this happens in a way that respects the dignity of the missing and their families.

That same declaration also established the National Commission for Transitional Justice. Critically, however, its mandate is limited to crimes by the Assad government. The one-sided nature of the transitional justice committee coupled with the lack of clarity on its priorities has led to observers expressing frustration, especially as developments on the ground reinforce the urgent need for a comprehensive transitional justice framework that is publicly communicated and agreed upon.

have you read any good fics in the pitt fandom?

Yes! My on-ramp to this fandom was a friend sending me fic by Alethia so so I've been mostly lurking in Robby/Abbot corners currently. I also really loved Just Normal Colleague Things. Spooning on a Tuesday Night. by thatsfarce, which is about Robby & Abbot as qpps (though it takes them about 90k to call it that.) The second I finished it I went back and read it again. Safety Net also by thatsfarce was great (focused on Santos & Abbot, uh, not quite friendship) and Scenes from a Lavender Marriage by Siria (Santos & Whitaker get married for scholarship purposes.)

Mind the trigger warnings for all the above.

If anyone else has recs let me know: I'm not too picky, except that I don't really want to imagine Whitaker in any romantic or sexual context whatsoever, which actually eliminates...quite a bit lmao

Author summary:

As active as Danny's imagination was, however, as strong as all his fears could be at the thoughts of his little girl being taken away from him again, he'd forgotten to factor in one very important element: Steve.

My thoughts:

Marriage of convenience, my third favorite child.

Ending quote:

"You're an old married couple, guys," Kono said, coming around the corner of the lanai. She had what looked like a big bowl of pasta salad in one hand and was leading a sheepish and slightly rumpled-looking Charlie Fong by the other. "Save that stuff for later." "Okay," Danny said, leaning back in his chair and taking another swallow of his beer. He grinned up at Steve. "Pretty sure I can do that." He could save this all for later, and for a long time after that.
