"...The U.N. Human Rights Council condemns Syria for 'gross and systemic violations' in a resolution that diplomats say calls for action by the main U.N. bodies and the International Criminal Court. Reporting from Beirut— The United Nations' top human rights forum on Friday condemned Syria for "gross and systematic violations" after an independent panel found evidence suggesting the country's security forces had committed crimes against humanity..."

The response from the UN is past due. The situation started months back and the UN's delayed response is not very helpful. At least they are doing something. It is not surprising that Syria would say that the resolution is not an "objective assessment". They probably deny the fact that they even have a major problem. What do you think?

I agree that the UN is much more concerned with bureaucracy than contributing anything akin to real solutions. Syria has been struggling, to put it lightly, for months and the situation is not getting any better. I don't think that this input from the UN is going to affect it in anyway. Obviously Syria is denying its accuracy.

I am not surprised that this is going on as we see human rights being violated everyday all over this world. The UN has its own plan in mind and they will keep guarding their secrets from the public. Syria will keep doing what they're doing because they have another agenda in mind. The UN wants to control as many countries as they can, which is why they are condemning Syria.
