GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.’s top human rights official is calling for the international community to support the Syria peace plan and a probe into the killing of more than 100 civilians in Houla.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says that without this the country risks descending into a full civil war.
The 47-nation U.N. Human Rights Council is meeting in Geneva today to discuss the situation in Syria for the fourth time since the start of violence last year.
European nations are pressing for a draft resolution to propose a war crimes probe into the Houla killings.
Other countries, including the United States, back the condemnation of Syria but are resisting a specific reference to the International Criminal Court.
