UN rights chief: Security Council must 'wake up' to chemical attacks

"Verbal condemnation is clearly grossly insufficient," the UN high commissioner said ahead of a Security Council meeting on Syria, charging that the world has offered nothing but empty words and a paralysed Security Council.
"The world – and in particular the veto-wielding states on the Security Council - need to wake up, and wake up fast, to the irreparable damage that is being done to one of the most important planks of global arms control and prevention of human suffering," Zeid added.
