On March 2, Lebanon got pulled into a war that many in the country had hoped to avoid.

Environmental disasters affected hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan in 2025, and will only worsen in the coming years, with parts of the country at risk of becoming uninhabitable.

Lebanon’s minister of justice appointed 11 investigative judges in October for cases related to political assassinations or attempted assassinations, showing an intention to pursue accountability.

South Lebanon has experienced widespread civilian, economic, and environmental destruction that continues beyond the ceasefire. Security-centric framings of the region risk obscuring these realities and undermining effective, civilian-centered recovery and reconstruction plans.

Accurate classification of victims is a prerequisite for effective transitional justice, reparations, and the prevention of future violations in Syria.
