GENEVA: Bashar al-Assad´s fall as Syrian president must be followed by accountability for him and others behind the horrific crimes committed during his rule, the UN insisted on Monday.
United Nations rights chief Volker Turk emphasised the need to ensure justice is served following the downfall of Assad´s “regime, driven from power following decades of brutal repression, and after nearly 14 years of relentless conflict”. “Any political transition must ensure accountability for perpetrators of serious violations and guarantee that those responsible are held to account,” he told reporters in Geneva.
