UN body asks S. Arabia to end air strikes in Yemen
[DAWN] The Saudi air strikes in Yemen  ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...have killed some 1,248 children during conflict that has been highlighted by a UN human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... committee which urged Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... to "put an end to the air strikes" against its southern neighbour. The recommendation was addressed to Saudi Arabia by the UN Committee on the rights of the Child, which also issued concluding observations on Benin, El Salvador, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mauritania and Niger. Each country is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has two optional protocols: involvement of children in armed conflict and the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. Every four years, member states are expected to provide an update to the UN on their activities and progress relating to these international accords. In a statement, the 18-member UN panel noted that Saudi Arabia was involved in the Yemen conflict as the leader of an internationally-backed coalition "to restore legitimacy" there.
