We are concerned by the reports of civilian casualties in the Yarmouk Camp as a result of the Syrian regime offensive. It is for the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, which we support, to investigate violations of international humanitarian law, including those that may constitute crimes against humanity.
