GENEVA
The United Nations' human rights chief Navi Pillay said on Monday that the evidence in Syria's more than two-year-old civil war indicated responsibility of senior Syrian officials including the country's president, Bashar al-Assad, in crimes against humanity and war crimes.
The evidence which was collected by UN investigators about Syrian war crimes has implicated Assad, Pillay said in a press conference on Monday in the UN Office in Geneva, Switzerland.
Pillay said an inquiry has produced evidence that war crimes were authorized in Syria at the "highest level".
Pillay also reminded that she had previously called on the UN Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
