UN Security Council urged to act on Syria - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: The UN human rights chief has asked the Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court for investigation of alleged atrocities against anti-government protesters.
Navi Pillay's remarks on Thursday came hours after the US President Barack Obama and the EU called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down.
Navi Pillay told reporters after the council meeting in New York that she recommended the referral because a UN fact-finding commission reported that all its evidence supported a finding of "widespread and systematic
violations'' of human rights and crimes against humanity.
