The United Nations announced on Wednesday the death toll since the internal conflict instigated in March 2011 has left over 60,000 people killed in Syria.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said, “The number of causalities is much higher than we expected, and is truly shocking.” Navi Pillay condemned the international community and the U.N. for “fiddling around” while “Syria burns”.
She has urged the international community to find a solution quickly if not “thousands more will die or suffer terrible injuries.”
She has also acknowledged based on the evidence that there has been “a proliferation of serious crimes including war crimes, and – most probably – crimes against humanity, by both sides.”
