"In summary, our conclusions are as follows; the parties to the conflict in Yemen are responsible for an array of human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian law, some of these violations are likely to amount to war crimes," International Expert on Yemen Melissa Parke said at the press briefing.
Parke also stated that the report called on those indirectly involved in the conflict or 'third states' to prohibit the supply of arms to all sides of the conflict as these could be used to commit human rights violations and possible war crimes.
"There are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons, that includes the United States, it includes the United Kingdom and it includes France to name but three," added International Expert on Yemen Charles Garraway.
Garraway also stated that a confidential list of the names of those suspected of committing human rights violations during the Yemen conflict will be handed to the UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet who will decide upon further action.
