Put Saudi-led coalition back on UN list of child rights abusers, Human Rights Watch says
‘A Human Rights Watch probe into a Saudi-led airstrike in Yemen that killed school children has renewed calls to place the coalition back on the UN secretary-general’s ‘list of shame’ for children’s rights abusers, after it was removed from it last year.
The results of the investigation were published Thursday by HRW, and detail another reportedly indiscriminate air bombardment that hit near a school, resulting in the deaths of two students and three more children wounded. A school administrator was also killed in the airstrike, and a further two adults were wounded. Some 900 children attend classes in the building.
HRW calls this another “unlawful attack,” and emphasizes the need to try to reinforce the Saudi-led coalition to submit to human rights principles.’
