Yemen War Crimes

HRW is urging the United Nations Human Rights Council, which is currently in session, to return the coalition to its yearly "list of shame" for violations against children in war.

The top U.N. human rights official renewed his call on Monday for an international probe into possible war crimes committed in Yemen, saying the "outrageous" weekend bombing on a funeral showed that violations continued unpunished.

The Saudi-led coalition bombing rebels in Yemen denied today renewed accusations of dropping cluster munitions in the country after UN chief Ban Ki-moon said their use may be a "war crime".

The United Nations has received "troubling reports" that cluster bombs have been used on civilian areas in the capital of Yemen this week and warned that the use of such indiscriminate weapons could be a war crime, a U.N. spokesman said on Friday.
