10,204 Civilians Killed In Syria In 2017
After the agreements, markets became more active, and schools were able to re-open in certain areas. However, breeches did not stop in all areas. The Syrian Regime caused the most breeches to the de-escalation agreements. Russian forces did respect agreements despite their alliance with the Assad Regime, and Syria saw less deaths at their hands this year.
While de-escalation agreements have helped the situation in Syria, international human rights violations continued to happen. The Syria Regime continued to kill civilians, with 90% of the civilian death toll for 2017 at their hands. Extremist groups, International Forces and Kurdish forces also carried out extrajudicial killings that constitute as war crimes through the year 2017, and should be held accountable by the International Community. |
