  January 2014 death toll Period covered: January 2014 Prepared by SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) Syrian Network for Human Rights is independent of any government, political ideology; SNHR documents human rights violations and the killed victims during Syria Revolution. Reports consist of: I- Civilian and Armed Rebels killed by government forces II- Civilians and Armed Rebels killed by ISIL Details: SNHR documented the kill of at least 3469 victims in January 2014, distributed as follows: First: Government forces SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) documented the kill of at least 2031 civilians in January 2014 by government forces including 340 children ( 11 children in day ), 222 ladies and 202 tortured to death including lady and a child ( 7 victims tortured to death in day). The proportion of killed children and women is 28%, which is a very high rate and strict evidence that the Government Forces targeting the civilians. SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) also documented the kill of 448 fighters by government forces. Second: ISIL SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) documented the kill of at least 213 civilians in January 2014 by ISIL members including 15 children, 13 ladies and 8 media activists. SNHR also documented the kill of 696 fighters during clashes with armed opposition's factions and field executions of prisoners. As SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) documented the kill of 81 killing incidents, unable so far to determine who carried out the killing. SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) would like to indicate that what we could document by our deployed members in all of the Syrian provinces classified by names date and place, photo or video. We couldn’t document many cases of massacres and killing for many reasons including procedures repeatedly and systematically made by Syrian Government's Armed Forces like communications disconnect and blockade areas for many days, that's make the actual number more than that, not to mention that the Syrian government has prevented any of the human right organization to perform their duty on its territory. Legal conclusions: 1. SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) assured that Syrian Government's Armed Groups and Shabiha violated Previsions of Human Rights International Law which protect the right of life, in addition to dozens of cases considered as war crimes (murder cases).Undoubted Evidence and proofs of hundreds of eyewitness accounts indicate that more than 90% of widespread and individual attacks have been committed against civilians and civilian objects, That’s all contrary to the Syrian Government's claims that they are fighting Al-Qaeda and terrorists. 2. SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) also indicates that the documented events are also crimes against humanity, where the condition of widespread and systematic direct attack against civilian population group in most cases of murder has been achieved. 3. ISIL members are non- Syrian majority aims to establish a Caliphate (is an Islamic state led by a supreme religious as well as political leader known as a caliph) all around the world, so their aspirations and aims radically differ from the Syrian people's aims of establishing a pluralistic democratic State, and thus cannot be legally classified as a faction of pro-Syrian people after the report showed by evidence and figures what ISIL commit against the Syrian people. Condemnation and Responsibilities: responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts , similarly Customary IHL provides that states that the state is responsible for all acts committed by a members of its military and security forces , thus the states is responsible of wrongful acts committed by its military and security forces including crimes against humanity. SNHR (http://www.sn-hr.org) holds the Syrian President Commander in Chief of the Syrian army, Bashar al-Assad, responsible for all acts of homicide, torture and massacres perpetrated in Syria as he holds the primary responsibility for giving the orders for these acts. SNHR considers all Syrian regime members and heads of the security and military bodies directly complicity in those acts. By the same token, SNHR considers the Iranian government and Hezbullah as direct partners in the acts of homicide who shall legally and judicially liable for those acts along with all those funding and supporting the Syrian regime which is systematically committing massacres on a daily basis. SNHR holds all the above mentioned parties responsible for all consequences and potential reactions from the Syrian people in general and the families of the victims in particular. Recommendations: Human right council 1. Call upon security council and relevant organizations to take upon their responsibility towards what's happening Syrian children from momentary nonstop killing even for one hour. 2. Exert pressure on the Syrian government to stop random and deliberate shelling on civilians. 3. Hold the allies and supporter of the Syrian government : Russia , Iran , China , moral and physical responsibility towards killing in Syria. 4. Serious attention of the disastrous situation and give it high priority, and try to take care of victims' children and families. Security Council : 1. Decision to refer all the criminals and the involved to ICC. 2. Warn the Syrian Government of the repercussions of using brutal methods and systematic killing and send clear messages about. 3. the Security Council should impose an Arms embargo on ISIL , and to prosecute all those involved .The opposition should cooperate by all possible means to stop the flow of men and weapons to the ISIL , all similar organizations and any person providing such organizations with money or weapons should be regarded as a war criminal and must stand trial for war crimes. Arab League: 1. Demand Human Right Council and United Nations to give this serious issue the right attention and follow up. 2. Political and diplomatic pressure on the Syrian Government Troops' main allies-Russia, Iran and China -to prevent them from continuous providing cover and international and political protection for all the crimes committed against the Syrian people and hold them moral and physical responsibility for all the excesses of the Syrian Government Troops. http://www.sn-hr.orghttp//www.facebook.com/syrianhumanrhttp://twitter.com/syrianhr
