UN HUMAN RIGHTS CHIEF URGES SYRIAN REBELS TO END ABUSES AFTER GRUESOME
VIDEO HITS INTERNETNew York, May 14 2013 6:00PMAn internet video
purportedly showing a Syrian rebel mutilating the heart of a
Government solider is a "truly atrocious act" which should be
investigated as a potential war crime, the United Nations human rights
chief said today, urging the armed opposition to stop such gross
crimes.
"The video that has just emerged from Syria, apparently showing a
rebel leader cutting out and biting the heart of a dead soldier,
depicts a truly atrocious act," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Navi Pillay said in comments from Geneva, noting that it is not yet
possible to fully authenticate the clip.
"Mutilating or desecrating corpses during a conflict is a war crime,"
Ms. Pillay stressed. "I urge the armed opposition groups in Syria to
do everything in their power to halt such gross crimes."
The High Commissioner urged an investigation of the incident, along
with other alleged very serious violations by opposition fighters,
including acts of torture and a succession of apparent summary
executions and extra-judicial killings.
"I have repeatedly called for the case of Syria to be referred by the
Security Council to the International Criminal Court, so that legal
proceedings can begin against people believed to be responsible for
serious international crimes, including war crimes and crimes against
humanity, irrespective of whether they are on the side of the
Government or are in opposition to it."
Since 2011, fighting between the Government and opposition forces
seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad has killed more than 70,000
people, and left 6.8 million in need.May 14 2013 6:00PM
