Four Years Harvest

Report Methodology
The Syrian Network for Human Rights is human rights organization founded in June 2011, and it is a neutral independent non-governmental, non-profit organization. We aim to document the human rights violations occurring in Syria, by periodically submitting research and reports, with the highest levels of professionalism and objectivity, in order to expose those responsible, as a first step to hold them accountable and to ensure victims’ rights.
It should be noted that the UN depends on SNHR as the main source for its statistics in analysing the victims from the conflict, as well as several other Arabian and global news agencies along with other international human rights organizations.
SNHR count on all its reports, researches and investigations by its members inside and outside of Syria through investigations done by visiting and meeting with survivors or eyewitnesses. All the incidents mentioned in this report also exist in the form of extended reports and studies available and published in Arabic and English on SNHR website.
The international humanitarian law and international customary law along with the international human rights law are the laws acted by and they are obligatory for all conflict parties.
SNHR assures that all of the facts and statistics in this study are just the beginning of the grave violations that have happened and are still happening in Syria from March 2011 until March 2015.
