‘Yemen can take Saudi Arabia to ICC over war crimes’
Saudi Arabia’s war of attrition on neighboring Yemen, now in its third year, continues on multiple fronts. The Saudi war machine propelled by a constant flow of US and UK arms supplies, has already taken thousands of lives. Yemen’s infrastructure is in ruins. Also the Saudi monarchy’s crippling siege has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine, with mass starvation threatening millions of lives and an unchecked cholera epidemic complicating the situation.
Talking to Press TV, international lawyer Edward Corrigan has criticized the Saudi-imposed blockade of food, medicine and other supplies as a form of collective punishment, which is in clear violation of international law.
He suggested that Yemen “take the Saudis to the International Criminal Court” in order to prove that Saudi Arabia and its allies have been committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the country.
Corrigan, however, highlighted that the Riyadh regime would not come to “the negotiating table” unless it is subjected to intense pressure from the international community
The analyst also noted that the United States and Britain “don’t really care about the people of Yemen” and that they are only obsessed with their own money making machines for which reason they keep selling arms and ammunition to Saudi Arabia.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia has been carrying out a massive bombing campaign against Yemen, leaving well above 12,000 people dead.
