The UN's human rights chief has said an inquiry has produced evidence that war crimes were authorised in Syria at the "highest level", including by President Bashar al-Assad.
It is the first time the UN's human rights office has so directly implicated Mr Assad.
Commissioner Navi Pillay said her office held a list of others implicated by the inquiry.
The UN's commission of inquiry into Syria has produced "massive evidence... [of] very serious crimes, war crimes, crimes against humanity," Ms Pillay said.
The evidence indicated responsibility "at the highest level of government, including the head of state", she added.
