A year after the predicted fall of Bashar al-Assad in 2024, a researcher at the University of Toronto, Gamal Mansour, states that transitional justice remains crucial for Syria. Published on December 9, 2025, the report highlights the ongoing issue of "low intensity crimes of vengeance" occurring in Syria. Mansour explains that these acts are driven by citizens seeking retribution against their known abusers. The promise of transitional justice is therefore important to prevent further cycles of violence and address past grievances in the post-Assad era. The report suggests that the Syrian people will not find closure until justice is served for past wrongdoings.
