Commanders of Islamic State militants should be tried at the International Criminal Court for war crimes in northeast Syria concluded UN investigators on Friday.
A report based on over 300 interviews with witnesses and victims found that mass killings that constituted of “egregious violations of binding international humanitarian law and the war crime of murder on a massive scale,” had been committed by Islamic State commanders.
The chair of the UN panel discussing the report, Paulo Pinheiro, said that the findings would be added to a secret list of war crimes suspects from all sides of Syria’s civil war, reports Reuters.
