A large number of foreign-born jihadists were arrested during the operations of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against ISIS terrorist militia. The people of northern and eastern Syria call for the establishment of an international tribunal in the region to try the Islamists who have committed crimes against them.

Imad al-Karaf, co-chair of the Judicial Council of the North and East Syria Autonomous Administration, calls this demand "legitimate" and recalls the suffering that ISIS has caused among the peoples of the region. He notes that; "11,000 people have fallen in the fight against the ISIS, 25,000 fighters have been injured. The local population has resisted terror for the whole world. "

Al-Karaf refers to regulations in international agreements condemning the perpetrators at the scene of their crimes and says: "ISIS has planned and committed its crimes in northern and eastern Syria. The jihadists have been arrested in this region. Delegations from Europe have been in favor of setting up an international tribunal in the region, and these promises must now be put into practice. For the establishment of such a tribunal, logistical and legal support is necessary in order to be able to proceed according to international conventions."
