The Syrian Regime Targeted a School in Al-Qaboun and Killed at least 14 Children in #Syria #Damascus http://fb.me/6S79I3P1V

DCHRS deplores this criminal act of the Assad regime involving the targeting of a school – a type of building which is considered to be a forbidden target in times of war. This crime can be classified as a war crime in accordance with Article 8-2-b-ix of Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court: “Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not military objectives” and Article 8–2-b–ii: “Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives”

Therefore, DCHRS urges the international community, relevant organizations, the United Nations, and the Security Council, to take immediate action to stop and end the Assad regime’s ongoing violations against the civilians in Syria.

Moreover, DCHRS urges the concerned parties to uphold their responsibilities in the face of the Syrian regime’s use of lethal weaponry, and its continuous targeting of civilians. The Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies cautions that  the international community’s silence will lead to further atrocities, as the Assad regime will continue to shed the blood of innocent civilians.
