Of the nine mass killings the panel investigated for the report, eight were attributed to the government side. “Relentless shelling has killed thousands of civilians and displaced the populations of entire towns,” the report said, leaving government responsibility implicit. “Massacres and other unlawful killings are perpetrated with impunity. An untold number of men, children and women have disappeared. Many have died in detention.”

The panel’s new report tracks investigations conducted over three months, ending in mid-July. It is dated Aug. 16, five days before the chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburb.
