U.N. Finds Syria Committed Crimes Against Humanity

The United Nations condemned Syria for "gross and systematic violations" after evidence reveals that the country's security forces had committed crimes against humanity. The government was found out doing violent crackdowns for an eight-month old uprising.

Syria's allies on the Security Council vetoed a resolution because they said it could for something that would end up like Libya. Some of the documentations included torturing and shooting unarmed demonstrators. Since March, over 4,000 people have ended up dead because of this. There has been no word on what Syria will do to amend this.
