Geneva, Jumada I 26, 1436, Mar 17, 2015, SPA -- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has called for bringing Syria war criminals to international justice and making public the names of suspects involved in committing the crimes since the outbreak of the Syrian revolution. This would help put an end to the policy of impunity and help protect and deter aggression against civilians in Syria. This came in a speech delivered before the Human Rights Council today by Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva Faisal Trad. Ambassador Trad emphasized that during the nearly four-year Syrian crisis, the Syrian people have suffered the most heinous crimes and violations in the twenty-first century, pointing out that the Bashar Al-Assad's regime lost legitimacy and is still waging indiscriminately brutal attacks that have claimed more than 221,434 of his own people - mostly children, women and elderly - and displaced nearly more than half of the population. Ambassador Trad stressed that this regime has gone too far in brutality as it used internationally banned weapons (chlorine gas), according to a report by the Fact-Finding Mission to Investigate the Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria. The mission held Al-Assad's regime responsible for using such weapons in three villages in northern Syria, in addition to the explosive barrels and other machines killings and destruction Bashar uses daily amid the silence of the international community. --More 18:48 LOCAL TIME 15:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
