Four years have passed since the fall of the Islamic State<\/strong>, but over ten thousand ISIS foreign fighters<\/strong> detained in Rojava, a predominantly Kurdish region in northeastern Syria<\/strong>, are still awaiting trial.The independent Administration of North-East Syria (Aanes) is asking Western states to take back their citizens and try them once they are at home, but the requests from the Kurdish authorities<\/strong> are pending. A resolution process will certainly be implemented by Western countries regarding this delicate issue that is of Community interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The authorities have ensured that the trials will be open, fair and transparent in accordance with international and domestic laws on terrorism. The priority up to now remains the establishment of an international tribunal,<\/strong> as has already been requested several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrying on these processes, however, will not be easy. First of all, there is a problem of legitimacy<\/strong>: the Administration of Rojava governs north-eastern Syria, but it is not officially recognized internationally as a state entity, so the validity of the sentences issued can easily be questioned. There are also doubts about the possibility of guaranteeing the defendants' rights, starting with the right to receive legal assistance<\/strong>, on which the Administration has expressed itself in rather general terms. But what is also worrying, is the ability to guarantee the safety<\/strong> of the places where the trials will take place and to avoid external attacks and escape attempts by the defendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best solution would therefore be the establishment of an international court or the repatriation<\/strong> of the Foreign Fighters. The only repatriations that have been witnessed are those of minors<\/strong>, but these are still small numbers. In their case, the State must have adequate de-radicalization and reintegration programs<\/strong> at its disposal, but not all European countries are sufficiently prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The situation of women involved with ISIS is extremely complex. Some have been implicated against their will, constrained or kidnapped, and are hence in a desperate situation, especially after experiencing the oppressive reality of the Islamic State regime. However, some women have chosen to adhere to the values of ISIS, and continue with their loyalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside detention camps like Hol<\/strong>, where there are a large number of ISIS militiamen, rules of conduct and obedience are imposed in order to maintain order and security inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
