The Syrian government and mainstream opposition must seek a compromise to end three and half years of bloody civil war and block the rise of murderous jihadists, UN investigators said Tuesday. "The rise of (Islamic State fighters) has emphasised the need for the government and mainstream opposition to find common ground and to commit to making compromises," said Paulo Pinheiro, who heads the United Nation's Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Syria. Presenting the commission's latest report on the situation in the war-ravaged country to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Pinheiro said he had grown weary of standing before world diplomats and begging for action that never came. "Its most recent beneficiary is ISIS," the jihadist group calling itself Islamic State (IS), Pinheiro added.
