This appalling and brutal crime, involving indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force, is a flagrant violation of international law and of the commitments of the Syrian government to cease the use of heavy weapons in population centres and violence in all its forms.

UN leader Ban Ki-moon and UN-Arab League peace envoy Kofi Annan have condemned a massacre of more than 90 civilians in Syria as an “appalling and brutal” breach of international law.

Ban and Annan “condemn in the strongest possible terms the killing, confirmed by United Nations observers, of dozens of men, women and children” in Houla, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said on Saturday.

The UN mission said 92 bodies, 32 of them children aged less than 10, had been found in Houla after the artillery offensive on Friday.
