The Saudi Arabian-led war on Yemen is illegal from every aspect of international law, says a political commentator.

“This is an illegal war... a grotesque violation of all humanitarian norms, what the Saudi-led coalition is doing in Yemen is outrageous,” Colin Cavell, a former lecturer at the University of Bahrain, told Press TV on Tuesday.

He said the Saudi-led coalition waging war on Yemen not only did not have the mandate of the United Nations, but also it did not even have the official approval of the Congress of the United States — which itself is aiding the coalition in the war on Yemen.
