	uin	HL2251
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2015 answer text <p>The UK is supportive of the Saudi Arabian-led Coalition military intervention, which came at the request of President Hadi, to deter aggression by the Houthis and forces loyal to the former president Saleh, and allow for the return of the legitimate Yemeni government. We are aware of reports of alleged violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in Yemen by all sides to the conflict and take these very seriously. We have raised our concerns with the Saudi Arabian government and have received repeated assurances of IHL compliance and continue to engage with them on those assurances. We have also raised our concerns with the Houthis on the importance of compliance with IHL and international human rights law. A political solution is the best way to bring long term stability to Yemen and avoid a humanitarian catastrophe. The UK fully and actively supports the UN’s efforts to achieve an end to the conflict.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Evans of Bowes Park question first answered 30/09/2015 13:40:33 answering member 4329 label Biography information for Baroness Evans of Bowes Park
