Syria’s justice minister on rebuilding rule of law after al-Assad

The transitional government promises justice, truth, and rule of law as Syria turns the page following Bashar al-Assad’s overthrow.

Justice Minister Mazhar al-Wais tells Talk to Al Jazeera in his first interview since taking office that his organization intends to prosecute crimes committed during the war. However, critics claim that the procedure is too narrow and concentrates only on abuses committed during the Assad regime, while sectarian reprisals and violence result in new victims waiting for justice.
