French Court Cancels Assad Arrest Warrant for War Crimes in Syria

The Guardian

|

July 26, 2025

France's highest court has cancelled an arrest warrant for the former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to chemical weapon attacks on civilians during the country's civil war.

- Kim Willsher

The Cour de cassation declared the warrant invalid under international law, which gives heads of state personal immunity from prosecution in foreign courts for alleged crimes while they are in office. It ruled there were no exceptions.

However, the judges said the decision left the way open for a new arrest warrant to be issued now Assad is no longer a head of state. Since December 2024, Assad has been in exile in Russia after rebels led by Turkish-backed forces took control of Syria.
