<p>The UK welcomed Saudi Arabia's commitment in 2016 that it would no longer use BL-755
cluster munitions, which were exported from the UK, with the last delivery being in
1989. We have no evidence that this assurance has been breached and have not seen
evidence of any recent use of cluster munitions in Yemen since 2016. We continue to
monitor the situation closely. We regularly emphasise to Saudi Arabia the importance
of conducting thorough and transparent investigations into alleged International Humanitarian
Law violations. UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths is continuing to seek the parties
agreement to a permanent ceasefire and a resumption of the UN-led political process.
We fully support these efforts and urge the parties to engage constructively with
the Special Envoy.</p>
