Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights strongly condemned the  UN&rsquo;s stalemate and failure to protect the innocent lives and put an end to the  21-month crisis the has torn the country apart and left hundreds of thousands  of people dead, wounded and displaced. Pillay reiterated her call upon the UNSC  member states to live up to their claimed responsibilities and seek a final  solution to the widening crisis that could soon have regional ramifications. <br \/>\n  The General Secretary of the United  Nations Ban Ki-moon declared That Syria is lost now, for the international  community didn&#8217;t unite for the preservation of peace and security in this  country for Assad refusing to step down and give a way for a smooth political  and democratic change in the country. <br \/>\n  The International Red Cross  Organization as well as the German Doctors Without Borders have repeatedly  voiced their deep concerns over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Syria due  to the continuing regime shelling that destroyed almost everything including  hospitals and bakeries. <br \/>\n  On the other hand, the Human Rights  Watch and the Amnesty International<u> <\/u>called upon the newly-formed Syrian  National Coalition to put an end to the violations committed by the opposition  forces. Human rights watch has documents 12 human rights violations by the  opposition forces since they took up arms some 15 months ago, at the end of  this statement, a link to a YouTube video shows opposition forces executing a  number of Syrian soldiers while in another report, the same organization  accused them of using children as human shields. <br \/>\n  The Syrian Human Rights Organization  believes the following are true statements: <br \/>\n  &#8211;  Under any law; The Syrian state is the only legal body responsible for  protecting the basic rights of its citizens and not the opposition. The Syrian  regime didn&rsquo;t only fail to protect its citizens, it also massacred more than  50000 of them in some of the most heinous and horrible ways one can think of. <br \/>\n  &#8211;&nbsp;  The world agrees on the fact that the Syrian revolution began as peaceful  movement, and remained so for at least seven months, during when peaceful  protesters thought that the International community along with the human rights  organizations will stand by their side and hold the Assad regime accountable  for firing on, arresting and torturing peaceful protesters. <br \/>\n  &#8211;  Naturally, and based on the global undisputed law which gives the right for any  human being to defend him\/herself, peaceful protesters decided to take up arms  and formed armed groups to respond to the brutal crackdown as the international  community kept giving the Assad regime more and more time and even showed  absolutely no interest in defending the pro-democracy protesters in Syria. The  Assad regime used all sort of heavy weaponry including internationally outlawed  weapons such as cluster and white phosphorus bombs that wreaked havoc on the  opposition towns and left thousands of women, children and elderly dead and  wounded. Let alone the arbitrary arrests, looting and arson campaign carried  out through the country and yet no serious action was taken. <br \/>\n  &#8211;  &nbsp;Armed opposition groups were formed quickly and doesn&rsquo;t have the  capability to command and control as well as the power to hold the lawbreakers  accountable for their crimes. <br \/>\n  &#8211;  The international human rights organizations tend to put both the murderer and  the victim on the same level of accountability. <br \/>\n  We, The Syrian Human Rights Organization  condemn in the strongest terms the violations committed by opposition groups  and stress the need to bring all offenders to justice. <br \/>\n  The Syrian Human Rights Organization  has started watching the human rights abuses by the opposition forces in the  so-called liberated zones, and has appointed its chief executive in its Aleppo  officer &quot;Mr. Adel &#8230;.&quot; to take responsibility of this task. <\/p>\n<p>The judiciary committee of the  Judiciary Council has approved the idea of establishing an office for our  organization within the court in order to be able to ensure the compliance of  prisons as well as the trials with the approved laws. Our organization will  then try to expand this mission to include police stations and other premises  of the Free Syrian Army. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Backgrounds:<\/strong> <br \/>\n  Subsequent to data released by the  Syrian Organization for Human Rights, the plight of the Syrians has passed the  following phases: <br \/>\n  &#8211;
