AP, 27 Oct. 2016- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is calling for an immediate and impartial investigation of an attack on a school complex in Syria’s Idlib province the day before which left at least 22 children and six teachers dead.
Ban said in a statement on Thursday that he is appalled by the attack that, if deliberate, may amount to a war crime.
Ban says: “If such horrific acts persist despite global outrage, it is largely because their authors, whether in corridors of power or in insurgent redoubts, do not fear justice. They must be proved wrong.”
