The Syrian British Consortium (SBC) - formerly known as the Syrian British Council - is a UK-based Syrian advocacy body which works towards establishing a channel of communication amongst diaspora-based Syrians and building a platform that amplifies their voices with the UK Government, Parliament and international policy-makers.The SBC promotes the empowerment of Syrians in British society, while directly engaging with the UK Government and Parliament to adopt policies addressing the root causes of the Syrian crisis, and advocating for accountability for perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity.The SBC consists of many prominent UK-based Syrian figures from diverse backgrounds, including medical doctors, academics, lawyers, journalists, filmmakers, human rights activists and business persons.
