UN agrees to send war crimes investigators to Yemen

AFP , Friday 29 Sep 2017

The UN Human Rights Council agreed Friday to send war crimes investigators to Yemen, overcoming resistance from Saudi Arabia which sought to fend off an independent international probe.

A resolution adopted by consensus mandated UN rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein to send three experts to the country to "carry out a comprehensive examination of all alleged violations and abuses of international human rights" committed in the ongoing conflict.
