UK may be prosecuted over missiles used by Saudis in Yemen war

‘The British government is at the risk of being prosecuted for war crimes after mounting evidence has come to light that UK-made missiles, sold to the Saudi Arabia, have been used against civilian targets in Yemen, UK Foreign Office lawyers and diplomats have warned.

According to a detailed report published by The Independent on Friday, advisers to British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond expressed their concern that the sale of “specialist missiles,” used during the nine months of Saudi war on Yemen, may breach international humanitarian law.

“The foreign secretary has acknowledged that some weapons supplied by the UK have been used by the Saudis in Yemen. Are our reassurances correct – that such sales are within international arms treaty rules? The answer is, sadly, not at all clear,” an unnamed senior Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) legal adviser was quoted as saying.’
