A new United Nations report asserts that both sides in the Syrian civil war have committed grave crimes in violation of international law.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
Government forces continue to attack civilian populations in what amounts to crimes against humanity, says the report, released Wednesday by the U.N. Human Rights Council.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
But anti-government groups, in their fight against President Bashar al-Assad, have themselves committed war crimes, including murder, torture and hostage-taking, the report states.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
The report provides details on nine massacres that it is investigating, eight believed to have been carried out by the government and one by the opposition.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
As the fighting rages, "it is civilians who continue to pay the price for the failure to negotiate an end to this conflict," the agency said in a prepared statement.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
The report comes as the international community grapples with how to respond to a chemical attack in Syria last month that was allegedly launched by the government.[/font][/color]

The U.N. report is based on 258 interviews conducted between May 15 and July 15.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
"The perpetrators of these violations and crimes, on all sides, act in defiance of international law," the report states. "They do not fear accountability."[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
The period covered by the report precedes the date of the chemical attack in Syria that has brought the possibility of military strikes in response.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
Both sides in the civil war continue to fight because they believe that a military victory is possible, the report states, but it asserts such an outcome is not possible.[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial]
"There is no military solution to this conflict," it says. "Those who supply arms create but an illusion of victory."[/font][/color]
