The approach method used in this research is normative juridical which focuses on research on applicable legal provisions, namely on How’s the Effectiveness of Implementation and Compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in the Case of Violations of the Right to Life and the Right to be free from tortured in Syria.

Syria as a member country of the ICCPR has carried out its obligations by sending periodic reports on cases of civil and political rights violations in Syria that are likely to experience delays.
