In its resolution 33/23, the Human Rights Council decided to convene a high-level panel discussion on the situation of human rights in the Syrian Arab Republic during its thirty-fourth session, in consultation with the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, including on the issue of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detention, and the need for accountability for related violations and abuses, featuring witness testimony and Syrian voices. Also in that resolution, the Council requested the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to prepare a report on the high-level discussion. The present report was prepared pursuant to that request.
