ICCT Live Webinar: Assessing the Situation in al-Hol Camp: Current Practices and Future Prospects
13 March, 2023 @ 16:00 - 17:30
On Monday 13 March 2023 the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) will hold a Live Webinar on al-Hol moderated by Dr. Joana Cook.
Years after the Islamic State’s territorial defeat in Syria, and the group’s loss of its last bastion in al-Baghouz, tens of thousands of individuals, the large majority of which are women and children, are still held in dire living conditions in northeast Syria’s camps. In recent years, both local and global efforts to repatriate the residents of Al-Hol have gradually gained momentum in light of the critical humanitarian and security situations inside the camp. The process of repatriating and reintegrating those held at Al-Hol is understandably a complex task involving considerations around screening and risk assessment processes, and with numerous barriers to the effective reintegration of those willing to return to their areas of origin. In addition to these challenges standing in the way of those able to return, there is also a significant number of Al-Hol residents who are unable, and in some cases, unwilling to return to their areas of origins, often leaving these people with bleak long-term prospects. This Live Briefing will discuss a number of key issues relating to the on-the-ground happenings and future prospects of Syria’s Al-Hol camp and its residents.
