Tillerson, who when he was head of Exxon Mobil was deemed close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, described Assad's regime as «murderous» on Monday and vowed to dedicate his work to «holding to account any and all who commit crimes
against the innocents anywhere in the world.»
«We are talking about an allegation
against a member, and we are in a common law tradition where you are
innocent until proven guilty, so if any party member expresses the wish to solidarise with anybody
innocent, I do not think there is a breach
anywhere.»
