In the field of universal jurisdiction, successes are rare and deserve to be closely watched, as Justice Info does in a first video of its brand new series IN CAMERA, released today<\/a> - for the Koblenz trial, the first criminal trial involving state torture in Syria. Instead, the rule for victims is the difficulty in getting to this kind of trials, for a number of reasons precisely discussed in this new podcast episode by our Asymmetrical Haircuts partners and correspondents, Janet Anderson and Stephanie van den Berg, with their guests Sarah Finnin<\/a>, FIDH EU Survivors\u2019 Rights Project Coordinator and lawyer Patrick Kroker<\/a>, who is responsible for ECCHR\u2019s work on Syria. While Kroker points out that prosecutions against companies which benefit from operating in countries where the most serious crimes are committed, Finning underlines that \u00ab what\u2019s important is not so much what is written in the law, but the attitude of those who are implementing that law \u00bb.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
