Both the Syrian rebels and
government forces are guilty of multiple war crimes, including mass killings
and torture, a UN report alleges. Investigators say perpetrators have committed
crimes against humanity without any fear of accountability.
"The perpetrators of these
violations and crimes, on all sides, act in defiance of international law. They
do not fear accountability. Referral to justice is imperative," said the
report by the UN commission of inquiry, which is led by Paulo Pinheiro of
Brazil. The inquiry is based on 258 interviews and other evidence gathered in
the month leading up to July 15.
The document says that both parties
have carried out indiscriminate killings of civilians and need to be held
responsible for their crimes. However, the inspectors state: “There is no
military solution to this conflict.”
“Those who supply arms create but an
illusion of victory. A political solution founded upon tenets of the Geneva
communiqué is the only path to peace,” said the report, calling on
international backers to stop sending weapons into Syria as “they will be used
to commit serious violations of international law.”
