The UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, criticised the Security Council for failing to agree on "collective action", which she said "appears to have emboldened the Syrian government.
Addressing UN delegates in New York Monday, Pillay said,
"The failure of the Security Council to agree on firm collective action appears to have emboldened the Syrian government to plan an all out assault in an effort to crush resistance with overwhelming force."
"I am particularly appalled by the ongoing violence in Homs."
"We are certain that the number of dead and injured continues to rise every day."
“The longer the international community fails to take action, the more the civilian population will suffer from countless atrocities against them,”
