International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria (IIIM)

The International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria (IIIM) was established by the UN General Assembly in 2016 to assist in the investigation and prosecution of persons responsible for the most serious crimes under international law committed in Syria since March 2011.

Its role is somewhat different from a typical UN programme. The IIIM does not itself prosecute or try individuals. Instead, it collects, preserves, analyses and shares evidence and information with national, regional and international jurisdictions that have or may have jurisdiction over these crimes.

Help advance justice and accountability for serious international crimes. The International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism for Syria offers professionals the opportunity to contribute to one of the world's most important international justice efforts. Working at the intersection of international criminal law, human rights, investigations and evidence, staff help collect, preserve and analyse information that can support future prosecutions and accountability processes. For professionals seeking highly specialized international experience and work with lasting significance for victims and survivors, IIIM provides a uniquely meaningful environment.
