“A veteran Republican congressman opposed to US missile strikes defended his call Wednesday for a Syrian war crimes tribunal, saying the world should hold that nation’s chemical weapons users to account. Representative Chris Smith said President Barack Obama should immediately press for the UN Security Council’s establishment of a tribunal to try Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and members of his regime, as well as rebels who the lawmaker said are committing ‘atrocities’ against their own people. ‘If we made this a real priority, I think we could hold Assad and his abusers to account, as well as those on the rebel side,’ Smith told AFP.”
