UN's Ban: Syria violence constitutes crimes against Humanity
None
"As we meet here, Aleppo ... is the epicenter of a vicious battle between the Syrian government and those who wish to replace it," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the 193-nation UN General Assembly ahead of a vote on a Saudi-drafted resolution that would condemn Damascus.
"The acts of brutality that are being reported may constituted crimes against humanity or war crimes," Ban said. "Such acts must be investigated and the perpetrators held to account." (Reuters)
