UK Accused Of Blocking UN Inquiry Into Saudi War Crimes In Yemen

The UK is set to block an attempt to establish an independent international inquiry into the war in Yemen, prompting dismay among rights groups.
Canada and Holland are hoping to garner broad support for their proposal that the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva establish an inquiry to examine civilian deaths in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is accused of committing war crimes as part of a campaign against the Houthis.
