UN warns Russia over air strikes on Syrian
GENEVA: UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra´ad al Hussein warned Russia on Tuesday over the use of incendiary ******* in Syria´s besieged enclave of eastern Aleppo, and said crimes by one side did **t justify illegal acts by the other.
Zeid said that the situation in Aleppo demanded bold new initiatives “including proposals to limit the use of the veto by the permanent members of the Security Council”, which would enable the UN body to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC). “Such a referral would be more than justified given the rampant and deeply shocking impunity that has characterised the conflict and the magnitude of the crimes that have been committed, some of which may indeed amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity,” Zeid said in a statement. Syria´s government and its allies had undertaken a “pattern of attacks” against targets with special protection under international humanitarian law, including medical units, aid workers and water-pumping stations, he said. Russia is a key player in the Syrian civil war by virtue of its military support for President Bashar al-Assad and its role as one of five veto-holding powers on the Security Council. The use of indiscriminate ******* such as incendiary ******* in heavily populated areas was of particularly grave concern, Zeid said, drawing a parallel with the battles of Warsaw, Stalingrad and Dresden during World War Two. أكثر... ??????? ??????: UN warns Russia over air strikes on Syrian || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
