​The UK welcomes the release by the Saudi-led Coalition's Joint Incidents Assessment Team on 19 November of their findings in five further investigations into incidents involving alleged breaches of international humanitarian law in Yemen. We regularly stress, including at senior levels, the importance of the Saudi-led Coalition conducting rigorous investigations into reports of violations of international humanitarian law.
