Press Review: Evidence against North Korea to be presented at International Criminal Court; Syria talks fail to secure cease-fire for aid workers

The report, which lists evidence of extermination, atrocities committed against a starving population, and kidnappings, intends to recommend steps towards accountability rather than the prosecution of individuals. [Huffington Post]

Attempts to secure temporary cease-fires that would allow humanitarian aid workers access to civilians in Syria have failed after talks reach a deadlock. U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos expressed anger at the failure, citing the 15 aid workers who have died since October and the thousands of Syrians in need. She reminded the participants that all parties involved have a responsibility to protect civilians. [Christian Science Monitor]
