Navigating Through Victimhood in Non-International Armed Conflict

An interactive essay on Syria, legal categories, and the unstable boundary between victimhood, participation, and perpetration.

Move through five lives shaped by protest, detention, coercion, armed struggle, accusation, and revenge. Each case asks for judgment, then shows how quickly those judgments stop holding still.
