Syrian Justice Minister Mazhar al-Wais met with Amnesty International Secretary-General Agnès Callamard in Damascus to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation on human rights and transitional justice.

According to the Ministry of Justice, the meeting on Wednesday, 26 November 2025, focused on enhancing security, promoting transitional justice, and collaborating on human rights and legal issues.

Al-Wais stressed that achieving stability in Syria requires transitional justice and the support of international organizations in documenting violations and providing redress.

Amnesty International had previously called on the new Syrian government in May to take immediate and tangible steps to ensure justice, uncover the truth, provide compensation for past abuses, and implement urgent reforms grounded in human rights principles to prevent further violations.

Founded in 1961 in London, Amnesty International is a global NGO dedicated to defending human rights, monitoring abuses, and advocating for justice and fundamental freedoms.
