Happy new year from all at ICCT! 2019 saw the continued aftermath of the fall of the caliphate, the (attempted) returns and prosecutions of FTFs, and the persistent rise of right-wing extremist attacks in the West. Take a look back at 2019 through some of this year's research! Image With the end of the caliphate came the detention of #ISIS fighters, supporters, and innocent civilians alike in camps like #alHol and #AinIssa; @GinaAVale of @ICSR_Centre and @warstudies analysed the role of IS-affiliated women in these camps and beyond. icct.nl/publication/wo…

The verdict of the Dutch repatriation case @tanya_mehra1 reflected on in a recent Perspective for the ICCT has been released: Children should be repatriated and should not be discriminated against because of the beliefs of their parents in accordance with article 2(2) CRC. The women however don't need to be repatriated as they went knowingly to Syria hence cannot claim a right to family life (article 5 ECHR and 9 CRC). Women will only be repatriated with their children if it is a condition of Kurdish (or other) authorities.
