#1 The Houthi fighters say that Riyadh has been allowing Yemeni government troops to pound their positions and Saudi forces strike Yemeni village and indiscriminately target civilians there. According to the fighters, Saudis are using toxic materials including white phosphorous bombs against civilians in north Yemen.

Paging Mr Goldstone (I wonder if his coworkers call him "Goldstein" behind his back).

#3 Seems the Yemenis have taken a page from the Sri Lanka playbook, and are telling the UN to FOAD. The UN is being seen in more and more nations as a serial troublemaker and interfering pest, rather than a partner in finding a solution to problems. Many nations are also discovering that the UN not only isn't interested in solving problems, but is willing to senselessly prolong them to provide justification for UN action. Better to do housecleaning on your own than hiring a maid that's dirtier than you are.
