Saudi-Led Coalition be Probed by UN for Yemen War Crimes: Amnesty International

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght-Saudi Arabia should be investigated for potential war crimes committed during its ongoing aggression against Yemen, Amnesty International says.
In a report released on Tuesday, Amnesty called for a UN-commissioned probe into possible war crimes committed during the Yemeni conflict that according to local sources has killed more than 5,350 people since March 26 this year.
Amnesty said "unlawful attacks” which “may amount to war crimes” have been conducted by the Saudi regime in many areas in Yemen.
It also criticized “unlawful coalition airstrikes in densely populated residential neighborhoods.”
Donatella Rovera, a senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty, said Saudi-led coalition forces have "blatantly failed to take necessary precautions to minimize civilian casualties, an obligation under international humanitarian law. Indiscriminate attacks that result in death or injury of civilians may amount to war crimes."
“Perpetrators of the callous attacks against civilians in Yemen need to know that they will pay the price and will be held responsible for war crimes,” Rovera said.
“If the international community fails to investigate and hold violators to account then such attacks and the rampant killing and injuring of civilians is only likely to continue,” she added.
She also highlighted the "acute" humanitarian crisis in southern Yemen with essential services cut off, high food prices, damaged infrastructure and limited health care.
According to UN figures, half of those killed are civilians, and 80 percent of the country's 21 million people need aid and protection.
Saudi Arabia began its illegal military aggression against Yemen in a bid to undermine the Ansarullah movement and to restore Hadi to power, an ally of Riyadh.
The incessant bombardments have caused severe shortages in basic necessities in the impoverished state.
A significant number of governmental buildings, schools, shops, gas stations, markets, stadiums and mosques have been destroyed in the brutal Saudi attacks which have been described by human rights organizations as war crimes.
