U.N. Rights Chief Warns of "Civil War" in Syria

The U.N. Rights Council held a special session on the issues that are going on in Syria right now. Syria might be facing a civil war if they do not stop their ruthless repression on peaceful demonstrations and on civilians. The U.N. High Commissioner said "In light of the manifest failure of the Syrian authorities to protect their citizens, the international community needs to take urgent and effective measures to protect the Syrian people." The government and military in Syria are going against the International Laws of protecting human rights and are killing peaceful demonstrators and civilians for going against what the government wants. The U.N. is urging the international community to stop "all acts of murder, torture, and other forms of violence immediately."
