GENEVA (Reuters) - Syria welcomed a United Nations resolution on Friday to investigate violations and improve the country's human-rights record following the 13-year civil war waged by former President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The resolution, which calls for Syria’s new government to support inquiries into crimes committed during the conflict that started in 2011, passed without opposition at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Friday.
