Jihadist rebels have carried out mass executions of detainees in Syria, UN human rights investigators say.
The commission of inquiry's latest report documents several incidents, including one at a children's hospital in the city of Aleppo in January.
Government forces are meanwhile accused of sharply increasing their use of indiscriminate weapons, such as barrel-bombs, against civilians.
The report was released before a debate at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
'Execution field'In its latest report, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria describes how it has been investigating alleged mass graves in the country's north, reports the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.
The al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) was found to have "conducted mass executions of detainees", it says.
Isis fighters occupied the children's hospital in Aleppo, and used it to detain people. Some were then taken outside, and killed, in what witnesses described as an "execution field", the report adds.
The report contains several other examples of execution style-killings.
In addition, our correspondent says the UN investigators found there was a sharp increase in the use of barrel-bombs - explosive-filled cylinders or oil barrels dropped from aircraft - by the Syrian government at the same time as its representatives were attending peace talks in Geneva.
The air strikes appeared unrelated to military targets, the report says, and were clearly designed to instil terror in civilians.
The report says denial of food, water, electricity and medical help are all commonplace in Syria now, and that people are starving to death in besieged towns and in detention centres.
The chairman of the commission of inquiry, the Brazilian diplomat and legal scholar Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, said it had identified those suspected of committing war crimes and added their names to a list.
The suspects included the heads of the various Syrian intelligence agencies, those in charge of detention facilities where torture occurs, military commanders who target civilians, officials overseeing airports where barrel-bomb attacks are planned and executed, and the leaders of rebel groups and pro-government militia involved in attacking civilians.
