#Syria: UN Human Rights paper details devastating impact of sieges imposed by the Government forces and pro-Government militias, as well as by armed opposition groups, which have resulted in severe hardship, suffering and deaths of civilians, in clear breach of the obligations imposed by international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
