THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Investigators and lawyers said on Wednesday that they have built war crimes cases against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and key institutions of his government with documents smuggled out of the country.

The Commission for International Justice and Accountability (CIJA) has already built three cases against the government for crimes against humanity and is continuing to assemble evidence against others in the government as well as in the opposition.

If Bush isn't going to be held to a account for what he caused in Iraq, I don't think what this guy has done trying to keep Syria together is any nation's business.

Foreign assassination, weapons and drugs used to undermine other countries, kidnapping and torture not just of syrians, chemical weapons, mass murder.........................
Assad crimes are not isolated to syria or his own citizens.
He has displaced half the population of syria and millions of refugees are in neighboring countries right now with little aid because of lacking funds or location for them. Flood of refugees can disrupt local governments and create more instability in the region.
Of course it effects not just the middle east but the world, so it is the business of other nations.
