UN says Islamic State could be added to Syria war crimes list
Islamic State fighters accused of atrocities in Syria are expected to be added to a list being drawn by the United Nations of possible war crime indictees, the chief rights investigator has said., The Telegraph reported.
Brazilian Paulo Pinheiro, who heads the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria, said incriminating evidence against IS would be easier to collect because "there are indications of a strong chain of command."
"They are good candidates for the list," said Pinheiro, who briefed the UN Security Council on the results of their inquiry.
