Abstract: The Arab Spring, which began in the Middle East in 2011, has escalated into a civil war in Syria. The civil war between the Bashar al-Assad regime and opposition forces has harmed civilians, and the regime's displacement policy against civilians has been implemented indiscriminately. This displacement strategy has forced millions of Syrians to flee their cities, and those who survived and managed to flee have sought refuge in neighboring countries, particularly Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. The displacement policy implemented by the Bashar al-Assad regime's forces has been deliberately implemented within the framework of political and military strategies. The displacement strategy has employed methods such as imprisonment, bombing, siege, and starvation. This study aims to reveal the deliberate implementation of the displacement policy implemented by the Bashar al-Assad regime's forces against civilians throughout the Syrian civil war and to analyze the details of this strategy. Furthermore, the study aims to provide a perspective on the future of Syria's new administration and the Syrian people.
