France says Russia could face war crimes charges over its bombing campaign of Syria's eastern city of Aleppo.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Monday that the bombings are war crimes.
Ayrault said France would consult with prosecutors from the International Criminal Court (ICC) to see how to launch investigations.
"We do not agree with what Russia is doing, bombarding Aleppo. France is committed as never before to saving the population of Aleppo," Ayrault said.
Moscow has repeatedly denied attacking civilians in Syria, and says it targets terrorist groups.
It is not clear how the ICC could investigate the bombings in Aleppo because neither Russia nor Syria is a member of the International Criminal Court. The matter could be referred to the court by the U.N. Security Council, but the council has been deadlocked over Syria.
法国说,俄罗斯对于叙利亚城市阿勒颇的轰炸可能使俄罗斯面临战争罪指控。
法国外长让-马克∙埃罗星期一表示,轰炸行动构成了战争罪。
他说,法国将与国际刑事法庭检察官协商,探讨如何就此展开调查。
让-马克∙埃罗说:“我们反对俄罗斯轰炸阿勒颇的行为。法国坚定地致力于挽救阿勒颇民众的生命。”
莫斯科一再否认对叙利亚平民发动袭击,声称轰炸目标是恐怖组织 。
目前还不清楚国际刑事法庭将如何对阿勒颇的轰炸行动展开调查,因为俄罗斯和叙利亚都不是该法庭的成员国。这个问题可以由联合国安理会提交给法庭,但目前安理会在叙利亚问题上处于僵局。
