UN rights chief urges big powers not to send arms into Syria
None
The top UN human rights official urged global powers on Wednesday not to supply Syria with weapons and to press both sides in its civil war to find a political solution to prevent more massacres and threats to regional stability.
"If the current situation persists, or deteriorates further, increased inter-communal massacres are a certainty, rather than a risk," said Navi Pillay, addressing a debate at the UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday. "The message from all of us should be the same: we will not support this conflict with arms, ammunition, politics or religion," she added. (Reuters)
