Syrian foreign Ministry stressed Friday the country's utter rejection of earlier statements by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay.
Syria Rejects Pillay’s Statements
In a letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, the ministry said "it was supposed that the High Commissioner assumes responsibility for her post about the human rights' violations in Syria by armed terrorist groups, choosing instead to compile lies and fabrications and market them as if they were facts without bothering to verify them.''
 
''It is really strange that she used the UN human and financial resources against Syria, based on lies and calls outside her jurisdiction,'' added the letter.
The ministry confirmed that "the Commissioner's bias against Syria has become evident as she turns a blind eye to terrorism targeting the Syrian people at the hands of armed groups with an external funding, adding that she disregards the ample evidence of crimes against humanity perpetrated by the armed groups."
 
It also indicated that "the Commissioner remained non-committal as regards 6, 143 Syrian citizens killed by the terrorist groups and 1, 590 citizens who were kidnapped, the fate of two thirds of whom remain unknown."

''It would have been better had the Commissioner stuck to objectivity and professionalism as it would have helped in preventing killing more Syrians,'' added the statement pointing out that "the commissioner has rejected to consider the acts of terrorist groups as crimes against humanity."
