The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) and Damascus Centre for Human Rights Studies (DCHRS) observe rigorous documentation standards to verify each piece of information by seeking testimonies from two people who do not know one another before it is included in the casualties’ record.
Please be advised to look at the attached file which is a comprehensive report of all the recorded civilian and military casualties including all the details available for each. The report at the first pages features diagrams plotting the distribution of casualties on Syrian governorates.
The comprehensive PDF file of the victims of the Syrian Revolution can be downloaded from this link. This PDF file contains all the details, including photos, videos, and full names.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) and Damascus Centre for Human Rights Studies (DCHRS) hold Bashar al-Assad, head of the state and Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian regime army, accountable for all acts of homicide, torture and massacres perpetrated in Syria as he holds the primary responsibility for issuing the orders for those acts. All members of the Syrian regime and heads of security and military apparatus are considered directly complicit in those acts as well. SNHR and DCHRS demand the UN Security Council, the UN and UN member States to act with precipitation and take all necessary measures to protect civilians in Syria by sincerely fulfilling their moral and legal responsibilities. SNHR and DCHRS call on the UN and the UN Security Council to take all necessary measures to protect civilians and fulfil their legal and moral responsibilities by accelerating the referral of all those responsible for the perpetration of these massacres to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
