Resolutions memorializing the Massachusetts Delegation, and the United States Congress, on the
need for a Syrian War Crimes Tribunal.
1 that the Great and General Court of Massachusetts, recognizing the great humanitarian
2catastrophe in Syria, and the concern of so many, for the people suffering from that,
3memorializes the Massachusetts delegation to Congress, and The United States Congress, on the
4need for a Syrian War Crimes Tribunal, of the International Criminal Court.
5 In recent years, tens of thousands of Syrians have been brutally slaughtered, and millions
6forced to flee, and become refugees, straining the resources of the rest of the world, and simply
7crying out for forms of justice.
8 Massachusetts calls upon Congress, to seek appropriate actions, that will lead to the
9convening of a Syrian War Crimes Tribunal, of the International Criminal Court, so that the war 2 of 2
10crimes, and crimes against humanity, may be investigated, and individuals deciding to, and
11carrying out such crimes, be brought to justice, by arrest, and proper trial.
12 The Great and General Court, supports publicity, and sound information, in
13accomplishing these goals.
