The Court of Appeal in Paris confirms involvement of the French company “Lafarge” in crimes against humanity in Syria

International

The Paris Court of Appeal confirmed the accusation of complicity of the French cement company Lafarge in crimes against humanity through its activities in support of terrorist organizations in Syria until 2014.

AFP quoted the representative of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights as welcoming the decision, saying: “It is a symbolic decision and we hope that the investigative judges will be able to carry out their work.”

For his part, attorney Joseph Briham, agent of about a hundred former Syrian employees in the company, said: “It is an additional step against the impunity of the perpetrators of the worst crimes of economic actors.”

Lawyers Mathieu Pagar and Elise Lugal, attorneys for fifty former Syrian civil servants also expressed their satisfaction with the decision, describing it as an important step.

 

On September 7 last year, the French Court of Cessation confirmed the accusation of financing terrorism in Syria against the French cement company Lafarge, while it overturned the Appeals Court’s decision to nullify the accusation against the same company of complicity in crimes against humanity in Syria.

In 2017 and 2018, the French judiciary formally charged the French-Swiss cement company Lafarge with complicity in crimes against humanity after it was accused of financing terrorist organizations, including ISIS in Syria.
