UN Special Envoy Geir Pedersen says Syria 's new leaders must keep promises to respect rights.

He says Syrians are experiencing "a lot of hope and a lot of fear... at the same time" Mr Pedersen is concerned about the complex web of power in northern Syria .

He said Israel 's actions since the fall of Assad had been "highly irresponsible".

Syria is fragmented, with towns and villages heavily damaged by almost 14 years of war and a population traumatised by war and the cruelty of the regime.

Mr Pedersen said it was vital for HTS to start a process that will bring justice to families of more than 100,000 Syrians who disappeared after detention by the regime since 2011 .
