Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on strike on camp in Syria

The Secretary-General reiterates his call on the Security Council to send a strong message to all warring parties that there will be serious consequences for grave violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. Those responsible for yesterday’s seemingly calculated attack against civilians in the camp in Idlib, which could constitute a war crime, must be held accountable. He again urges the Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court.
