Data4Justice is an initiative that maps Syrian laws issued between 2011 and 2024 that have been used for justifying human rights violations, such as property confiscation, displacement, and denial of civil rights.

As a Code for MENA Fellowship 2025 grantee, the Syrian for Truth and Justice team is now piloting their platform. It works on connecting legal texts with documented cases of harm during the Assad regime and currently under the transitional government. This helps civil society actors and accountability mechanisms understand how legislation was used to harm communities and what legal frameworks are needed to prevent the misuse of law.
