AFP, United Nations, 18 Jan 2013 – UN rights chief Navi Pillay on Friday renewed a demand that the divided Security Council order an International Criminal Court war crimes investigation in Syria.
Her call added to a petition by 57 countries calling for a war crimes case to be started. But Pillay told reporters after a closed council meeting that she saw little sign that the 15-member body, badly split over the 22 month old conflict, was ready to take a decision.
