For Immediate Release

The Reckoning Project proudly extends its heartfelt congratulations to our former Chief Legal Counsel, Ibrahim Olabi, on his appointment as Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

Ibrahim's appointment, formalized by Presidential Decree No. 142 of 2025, reflects a profound recognition of his long commitment to justice, human rights, and international law. As one of the leading voices in the Syrian legal and civil society space, Ibrahim has long championed accountability for atrocities and the inclusion of civil society in policymaking.

As Chief Legal Counsel, Ibrahim was instrumental in shaping TRP's legal strategy, building and leading our legal team, and ensuring that every aspect of our work was underpinned by rigorous legal standards. He provided continuous guidance to our researchers in the field as they collected testimonies, and offered legal oversight on all of TRP's media and public deliverables.

The Reckoning Project is profoundly grateful for Ibrahim's leadership, which continues to shape our mission. His appointment to the United Nations not only recognizes his personal achievements but also affirms the growing importance of accountability and justice in shaping the future of Syria and the broader international order.
