UN envoy urges justice, not 'revenge' in Syria

The United Nations special envoy to Syria on Sunday called for "justice and accountability" in the country rather than acts of "revenge" following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad.

"We need to see, of course, justice and accountability for crimes. And we need to make sure that that goes through a credible justice system, and that we don't see any revenge," Geir Pedersen said as he arrived in Damascus.
