The Coalition Joint Incident Assessment Team (JIAT) is unparalleled in the region.</p><p>We welcome the release by the JIAT of the outcome of over 85 investigations into incidents of alleged breaches of international humanitarian law in Yemen. We continue to believe that Saudi Arabia has the best insight into their own military procedures, in line with the standards we set for ourselves and our allies.</p> more like this
