UN removed Saudi Arabia from a list of countries that have harmed children in conflicts
On the very same day of the attacks UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres removed the Saudis from the list. A spokesperson for Human Rights Watch said: “The Secretary-General is adding a new level of shame to his ‘list of shame’ by removing the Saudi-led coalition and ignoring the U. N.’s own evidence of continued grave violations against children.”
The Saudi-led coalition often targets civilian infrastructure including schools, hospitals, water treatment plants and markets.
