GENEVA - International investigators are moving ever closer to finding justice for victims of atrocities in Syria’s eight-year war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people, the head of a U.N. war crimes body said.
“We are progressing I have no doubt, we are going in the right direction,” said Marchi-Uhel, who heads the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism set up in 2016 to probe and help prosecute the most serious crimes committed in Syria. She is building on evidence gathered by the separate U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria, a body of independent experts headed by Brazilian Paulo Pinheiro since 2011.
