BEIRUT -- The head of Israel's Holocaust memorial is urging world leaders to end to the atrocities in Syria following a chemical weapon attack that killed dozens of civilians this week.
Yad Vashem chairman Avner Shalev on Thursday said the international community must "end the human suffering and provide humanitarian aid to the victims."
He noted that after World War II world leaders enacted universal principles and instituted organizations aimed at preventing future crimes against humanity. He said those tools should be utilized now to stop atrocities in Syria.
