Many of these investigations have resulted in the conviction of perpetrators from different parties to the conflict and the issuance of arrest warrants.<\/p>\n<p>Survivors and human rights activists will discuss Norway&#8217;s role in the international efforts to hold to account those responsible for the crimes committed in Syria and to combat impunity.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside survivors and human rights activists, the speakers&#8217; list will include <strong>Almoutassim al-Kilani<\/strong>, Litigation Manager at the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression (SCM), <strong>Michelle Jarvis, <\/strong>Deputy Head of the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism (IIIM) for Syria; <strong>Anwar al-Bunni<\/strong>, Executive Director of the Syrian Center for Legal Research and Studies (SCLRS), <strong>Ibrahim al-Kasem<\/strong>, Director of the Caesar Files Group; <strong>Une Bastholm, <\/strong>Member of the Norwegian Parliament, The Green Party; <strong>Gunnar Ekel\u00f8ve-Slydal<\/strong>, Deputy Secretary General, Norwegian Helsinki Committe\u00e9 (NHC); <strong>Sofie A.
