He said the evidence the commission collected could,"if confirmed later", support allegations of human rights violations,"including war crimes and crimes against humanity". "It is one thing to witness mass destruction, for example, or receive accounts of deliberate killings, but it is another to come to a decision on responsibility with the legal qualification of these facts," said commission member Pablo de Greiff.
