EDS NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT - Forensic pathologist Dr. Stuart Hamilton, right, presents one of the photos in a series of what is reported to be photographic evidence of torture in Syria as Gerard Araud, France's ambassador to the United Nations, looks on during a news conference at U.N. headquarters following a closed Security Council meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Ambassador Araud said a pall of silence lingered after the council members viewed the ghastly photographs of dead Syrian civil war victims, then questions slowly began about the credibility of the slides of the dead, who offer mute testimony to the savagery of a Syrian civil war in which more than 150,000 have died.
