MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Attacks against medical facilities in Syria amount of war crimes under humanitarian law, adviser to UN special envoy to Syria Jan Egeland said Thursday, calling for accountability.
"We want to launch a system that would get us out of this horrific situation that medical facilities, clinics, hospitals are attacked again and again and again … Of course, there also has to be accountability for attacks. Under humanitarian law, it’s war crimes to deliberately attack medical facilities," Egeland told a briefing.
