Filippo Grandi says EU agreed on roadmap to ease sanctions, noting that such measures need to be expanded - Anadolu Ajansı

DAMASCUS - Almost 30% of the millions of Syrian refugees living in Middle Eastern countries want to return home in the next year, following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, up from almost none last year,

Syria's new authority demanded, during talks with UN peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix on Wednesday, Israel's withdrawal from Syrian territory it occupied in the Golan Heights following the ousting of former Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad in December.

A devastating report from the UN Syria Commission of Inquiry has shed light on systematic arbitrary detention, torture, and enforced disappearances carried out by the former Syrian Government, labelling them crimes against humanity and war crimes.

New Damascus leadership says it's ready to cooperate with UN force, deploy troops to Golan to adhere to 1974 agreement that created a demilitarized zone Israel has now seized

Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have regained their homes since an Islamist-led coalition ousted Assad on December 8, while others are waiting for conditions to improve in their native country

The transitional government and future Syrian authorities can now ensure these crimes are never repeated,' says chair of UN Syria Commission of Inquiry - Anadolu Ajansı

For over a decade, the former Syrian regime’s brutality turned people into numbers and buried them in mass graves. Now, families seek to uncover the truth

The UN's high commissioner for refugees called during a visit to Lebanon on Thursday for the "sustainable" return of Syrian refugees to their home country following the ouster of former president Bashar al-Assad.

UN High Comissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi called on Western governments Saturday to lift their sanctions against Syria, describing them as an "obstacle" to the return of millions of refugees.

They have lived for years in Zaatari, the world's biggest refugee camp for Syrians, but many are unsure they want to return home from Jordan even after the ouster of former president Bashar al-Assad.

Since the fall of the Assad regime, the Syrian Democratic Forces' control over the former capital of the Islamic State organization has become increasingly contested.
