The Syrian war has now claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people, according to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, an increase of 7,000 in just over a month.
The United Nations chief called on both sides to stop the violence and said it was "imperative to have a peace conference in Geneva as soon as possible".
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who was meeting Mr Ban in New York, said the fighting was futile.
"There is no military solution to Syria," Mr Kerry told reporters.
"There is only a political solution, and that will require leadership in order to bring people to the table."
The milestone came on another day of violence in the country, which saw a car bomb in Damascus kill 10 people and injure 62.
A regime offensive on the city of Homs, dubbed the "capital of the revolution", is also continuing into a fourth week.
John Kerry and Ban Ki-moon say Geneva talks must happen as soon as possible Heavy shelling and the collapse of buildings hit by missiles has been reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Some 5,000 are being killed every month in Syria, says the UN.
The war started in March 2011 after President Assad's regime unleashed a brutal crackdown against a movement calling for change.
The US and Russia are trying to organise a conference in Geneva, along with the UN, to try to agree on a transitional government.
Mr Kerry said he had talked to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and that both countries remained committed to bringing the Syrian regime and the rebels together for talks.
"We will try our hardest to make that happen as soon as is possible," Mr Kerry said.
