Both the Regime and Armed Oppositions Responsible for Serious Abuses in Syria”, UN Rights Chief
As international efforts to shift the direction in Syria from armed conflict to political transition almost failed, the United Nation's top human rights official warned Monday that the crises are at the risk of further escalation and put the blame on the both sides, the Assad's regime and armed opposition groups .

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told reporters that both government and armed opposition are responsible for serious violation and fueling violence, and that any further militarization of the conflict must be avoided.
She stated that while both sides should be blamed for what Syrians are facing in their daily life, government had committed serious numerous violations.
“Indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas, targeted killings of activists and opposition supporters, arbitrary detentions, torture and rape as well as attacks on hospitals and clinics, and using health facilities for military operations,”are among the list of violations, she said.
