UN rights chief says transitional justice 'crucial' in Syria

United Nations rights chief Volker Turk on Wednesday said transitional justice was "crucial" for Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, during the first-ever visit by someone in his post to the country.

"Transitional justice is crucial as Syria moves forward," the U.N. high commissioner for human rights said. "Revenge and vengeance are never the answer."
