BEIRUT—The Kurdish-led administration that runs much of northern Syria called on March 25 for an international tribunal to be set up in their region to try the thousands of suspected ISIS terrorist group members they are detaining.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces on March 23 proclaimed the capture of ISIS’s last territory in Syria, but no clear international policy has emerged yet about how to deal with the militants it captured there and at other strongholds of the group.
