Western powers and Turkey accused Syria on Monday of imposing "starvation" and siege warfare in opposition-held areas, as Syrian officials said foreign forces were illegally occupying parts of the country suffering from U.S.-led sanctions.
Britain and the United States were among those at a U.N. Human Rights Council session in Geneva calling on Syria to end unlawful detention and disappearances, and allow humanitarian aid to reach all civilians after nearly 12 years of war.
