Russia accused of war crimes in Syria at UN security council session
Russia accused of war crimes in Syria at UN security council session
"""
Russia has been directly and repeatedly accused of war crimes at the UN security council in an unusually blunt session [...] Matthew Rycroft, the UK ambassador to the UN said during the emergency security council session on Syria on Sunday. [...] "that Russia is partnering with the Syrian regime to carry out war crimes.” [...] At the security council meeting, Rycroft’s French counterpart, François Delattre, agreed the use of bunker-busters and incendiaries on urban residential areas was a war crime. [...] “this week will go down in history as the one in which diplomacy failed and barbarism triumphed”.
[...]
The US ambassador, Samantha Power, [...] “What Russia is sponsoring and doing is not counter-terrorism. It is barbarism,”

The UN special envoy on Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said [...] “If it is confirmed, [...] may amount to war crimes.”
