Saudi air attacks in Yemen may amount to war crimes, says UN

[BHarwana]

No, clearly not.

It has been 70 years Israel is doing a Genocide in Palestine and yet not a single sanction. So what is UN?? PuPPet

So, clearly the international community is devided on this (and hence the UN)

By the way:

Genocide is intentional action to destroy a people (usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group) in whole or in part. The hybrid word "genocide" is a combination of the Greek word génos ("race, people") and the Latin suffix -cide ("act of killing"). The United Nations Genocide Convention defines genocide as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group".

Taking 70 years for genocide ? Mmm, then they are not doing that very effectively. Or could it be that the term genocide is inappropriate in this particular context?

Not a single action? Since its founding in 1948, the United Nations Security Council, as of January 2010, has adopted 79 resolutions directly related to the Arab–Israeli conflict.

HOWEVER The U.S. has vetoed over forty condemnatory Security Council resolutions against Israel; almost all U.S. vetos cast since 1988 blocked resolutions against Israel, on the basis of their lack of condemnation of Palestinian terrorist groups, actions, and incitement (Negroponte doctrine).

MEANWHILE
In recent years, the Middle East was the subject of 76% of country-specific General Assembly resolutions, 100% of the Human Rights Council resolutions, 100% of the Commission on the Status of Women resolutions, 50% of reports from the World Food Programme, 6% of United Nations Security Council resolutions and 6 of the 10 Emergency sessions.
These decisions often criticize Israel for its "occupation of Palestinian land and its oppression of Palestinians." A number of observers have described this criticism as excessive. For example, according to the UN Association of the UK, General Assembly resolutions in the period 1990–2003 show bias against Israel, condemnation of violence against Palestinians, but only occasional discussion of violence against Israelis. In addition, the UNHRC was criticized in 2007 for failing to condemn other alleged human rights abusers besides Israel.
The United States has been criticized as well by the OIC and other Arab organisations, for vetoing most Security Council decisions critical of Israel, the so-called Negroponte doctrine. Since 1961, Israel has been barred from the Asian regional group. In 2000, it was offered limited membership in the Western European and Others Group. On 29 November 2012, the UN General Assembly adopted United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19 changing Palestine's "entity" status to "non-member state" by a vote of 138 to 9, with 41 abstentions. Some sources claim that these measures implicitly recognised its sovereignty.
In an interview on December 16, 2016, UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, said that the UN has issued a "disproportionate volume of resolutions, reports and conferences criticizing Israel."

SO, the story is a bit more nuanced that you would make it appear.....

UN Warns Saudi Arms Suppliers Over Complicity in Yemen War Crimes
A United Nations expert panel has concluded most Saudi airstrikes in Yemen over the past two years have deliberately targeted civilians and public infrastructure, in attacks that could well amount to war crimes – and a human rights expert has told Sputnik they are hopeful the report could help halt the flow of arms to Riyadh.

Saudi's are trying to make local life miserable so they topple Saleh Houthi alliance. Saudi should better talk to them and resolve the issue and forget Hadi, his tenure is over long time ago . General election is the best solution.
