"The rebel alliance that overthrew President Bashar al-Assad last month has vowed to hunt down and prosecute senior regime figures for crimes that include murdering, wrongly imprisoning, torturing and gassing their own people."
"But even assuming that the new authorities can track suspects down, accountability will be hard to achieve in a country as vulnerable, divided and battered as Syria."
"Most Syrians would say they can only achieve closure to bring this dark 54-year era to an end when they bring these guys to justice," said Ayman Asfari, chairman of Madaniya.
"The justice system was for years little more than a tool for Mr. al-Assad, making it ill equipped to handle sweeping, complex human rights violations."
