Developments in Aleppo can be classified as war crimes: Al-Araby   

Kuwait News Agency - 30 July, 2012

What is happening in Syria and particularly in Aleppo can be classified as war crimes, Arab League secretary general Nabil Al-Araby said Sunday, and warned that those committing those crimes would be prosecuted at the international level.

Al-Araby, in press statements, said the Arab League was supporting the Syrian opposition call for an urgent UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting regarding the Syrian regime forces' assault on Aleppo.

He cited condemnations by the UNSC, UN Secretary General and countries around the world over the crimes in Aleppo and the whole of Syria.

The Arab Group circulated a draft resolution to members of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) to condemn the violence in Syria.

An Arab ministerial delegation will be visiting Moscow and Beijing to try to persuade the leaders in both capitals to change their positions over the Syrian conflict.

Al-Araby said contacts were underway to determine the dates of the visits.
