The resolution drafted by France aims "to send a message that there is accountability for the crimes committed in Syria," one diplomat said. "There is a clear need to demonstrate that the international community is interested in accountability" for the more than three years of violence visited by the Damascus government upon the Syrian people, the diplomat said. The conflict in Syria so far has killed 150,000 people and displaced nearly half the population, as the government employs what one diplomat called "starvation and siege tactics" against its people.
