The UN accuse SNA of:
"Onslaught of violations" against civilians, "war crimes" of "hostage-taking, cruel treatment, torture, and rape."

The report also condemns poor security situation, "barrage of IEDs and shelling" in Turkish-held areas and child recruitment by SNA.
Turkey may be culpable for war crimes witnessed and co-ordinated by its forces including "looting, torture... unlawful deportation," @UN conclude.

@UN also criticizes SDF for:
Poor conditions & lack of legal recourse for ISIS-linked individuals, especially in Hol Camp
8 instances of unlawful detention, including 4 conducted alongside US security services
2 instances of torture



1500 locals have left Hol in an ongoing release program, while international states must repatriate their own citizens, UN find.
