Saudi Arabia Attempts to Block U.N. Probe into Yemen Conflict 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, Saudi diplomats are attempting to fend off calls for a U.N.
Human Rights Council investigation into possible war crimes and crimes
against humanity in the ongoing conflict in Yemen. The one-year-old war
between Houthi rebels and U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition forces has
killed more than 4,000 people. A U.N. Human Rights Commission report has
blamed the Saudi-led airstrikes for most of the civilian casualties.
