The flow of refugees from Syria have certainly come twenty war crimes suspects to the Netherlands. Although they made dirty hands in the civil war in their own country, they can not be deported.
Writing Secretary Klaas Dijkhoff (Asylum, VVD) today in a letter to parliament. A special group within the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) did last year, 170 investigations of suspected war crimes, 60 for suspicious Syrians. Ultimately yielded the past two years to twenty people enough evidence to establish that they are war criminals.
The Ministry of Security and Justice will not say which group or which army heard the suspects. So it can go to soldiers of the army of Assad, but also to members of the Free Syrian Army. That it is IS-combatants is less likely. Dijkhoff reported so far that there is one person arrested for allegedly belonged to the terrorist group.
Of the twenty defendants committed killings, torture and secret service worked example for Al-Assad, Dijkhoff do not want to say for the purpose of privacy.
expand
Dijkhoff to the 'wrong' Syrians despite their crimes not expand. International treaties stop this. Securing can not, unless justice is sufficient evidence to prosecute them. This, in practice often impossible, if only by the continuing war in Syria.
For the rest Syrians suspect a life of illegality. Netherlands gives them no basic rights, in the hope that they still leave the country.
powerless
Netherlands stands powerless against the twenty suspected war criminals in Syria have come along in the flow of refugees. Staking is Dijkhoff not an option.
For the already overworked minister is another lingering headache. Dijkhoff today wrote to the House that last year thirty applicants have received the so-called 1F status, on suspicion of having committed war crimes in their homeland. It involves people from Eritrea, Nigeria, Sudan, Georgia, but in most cases Syrians.
