William Hague: Syria could face International Criminal Court

However, Syrian troops killed 31 people on Tuesday, pursuing a fierce assault
on President Bashar al-Assad’s opponents.

William Hague said Britain would return to the UN Security Council if Kofi
Annan’s peace plan failed and also seek to get the Council to refer Syria to
the International Criminal Court.

“If the Annan plan isn’t working, I believe it will be right to begin the
process of referring Assad to the International Criminal Court, although
that also requires the agreement of the Security Council, so is not a simple
process,” the Foreign Secretary said.

UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan appealed to the Security Council on Tuesday to
use its leverage to prevent the collapse of his efforts to end Syria’s
year-long conflict.
