Robert Petit

By centering victims/survivors in all our processes, the IIIM aims to contribute to full accountability for Syrians and affected communities. This requires prioritizing accountability for gendered harms that undermine the foundations of communities, including conflict-related sexual violence and mass enforced disappearance.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I commit to ensuring the incorporation an intersectional gender analysis at all stages of the development and implementation of a new IIIM strategy prioritising the preservation of evidence arising out of changed circumstances in Syria.
During consultations held between the IIIM and civil society and victim survivor associations, I commit to ensuring the integration of a gender perspective and a gender balance among participants from affected communities, both inside and outside of Syria.
