Attack on primary
The bombing "evoked a visceral horror", Volker Türk said at an urgent UN Human Rights Council debate, adding that there "must be justice for the terrible harm done".
The attack on Shajareh Tayyebeh school consisted of two missile strikes in quick succession that killed at least 168 people, including about 110 children, Iranian officials have said.
US media have reported that American military investigators believe its own forces were likely responsible for hitting the school unintentionally.

The strike, if a US role were to be confirmed, would amount to one of its worst single cases of civilian casualties in decades of US conflicts in the Middle East.
"The images of bombed-out classrooms and grieving parents showed clearly who pays the highest price for war: civilians with no power in the decisions that led to conflict," Türk said.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a video address to the UN meeting in Geneva that the bombing was a "deliberate and intentional" attack by the US.
"This atrocity cannot be justified, cannot be concealed, and must not be met with silence and indifference," he said.
