UN: Violations Committed By Armed Groups in Yemen May Amount to War Crimes

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - U.N. investigators say an array of human rights
   violations and violations of international humanitarian law committed
   by Yemen's warring parties over the past five years may amount to war
   crimes.

   A new report by international and regional experts documents a long
   list of gross violations perpetrated with impunity by the government of
   Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the Iran-backed
   Houthi rebels and affiliated armed groups.
