This study charts the progression of the Syrian Civil War from its initial nonviolent demonstrations to its present state, with a focus on significant phases such as the Assad administration, the emergence of extremist factions such as Daesh, and the participation of Kurdish organizations such as the PKK, SDG, and YPG. The thesis delves into an examination of the definitions and attributes of terrorism as outlined in Turkish legislation as well as in international law and the European Union. An evaluation is conducted of the ramifications of the war and the present state of affairs. The present study delves into the notion of "responsibility to protect" and its implementation in averting extensive human rights transgressions. The text furnishes a comprehensive outline of the European Union's framework, fundamental principles, and function within the global arena. This thesis examines the extent of the European Union's participation in the Syrian Civil War while considering the ramifications of the conflict's aftermath for the EU. This study analyses the process by when the European Union (EU) became a participant in the Syrian conflict, assesses the consequences of its intervention, and provides recommendations for the EU to attain its foreign policy objectives in Syria. Based on the aforementioned conclusion, it is apparent that the European Union's execution of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle in the context of the Syrian Civil War is confronted with noteworthy obstacles and constraints. The primary impediments include divergent national interests, intricate decision-making processes, shifting demographics, increasing conservative and fascist ideologies, and challenges in collaborating with Turkey. The thesis posits a series of measures aimed at augmenting the efficacy of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine within the European Union (EU). These measures include the cultivation of intervention capabilities, the reconciliation of the disparity between verbal commitments and practical implementation, the promotion of solidarity among member states, and the resolution of the underlying causes of conflicts. In general, this study enhances comprehension of the Syrian Civil War and the European Union's involvement in accordance with the Responsibility to Protect doctrine. The text sheds light on the intricate and restrictive circumstances encountered by the European Union and puts forward suggestions for the EU to enhance its efficacy as a participant in safeguarding human rights and promoting its foreign policy goals in Syria.
