The European Parliament has adopted a resolution, calling for an EU embargo imposing an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia. The reason, Saudi is considered war crimes committed in Yemen.
The resolution also contains criticism of EU members who sell weapons to the Gulf kingdom.
"The EU Parliament strongly condemns ongoing violence in Yemen and all attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, which is a war crime," reads the EU parliamentary resolution.
"Dozens of Saudi-led air strikes have been blamed for killing and mauling civilians regardless of the laws of war, including the use of internationally banned ammunition," the resolution said.
The resolution documents specifically state that European lawmakers deplore the Yemeni blockade by Saudi Arabia's Arab-led coalition.
"Condemn an indiscriminate coalition air raid that led to civilian casualties, including children, and the destruction of civil and medical infrastructure," the European Union parliamentary vote condemned, as quoted by Russia Today, Saturday (2/12/2017).
Nevertheless, the resolution also condemned the actions of Houthi rebels who also resulted in civilian casualties, including through missile attacks into Saudi territory.
The European Parliament later renewed their call to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to launch an initiative to impose an EU arms embargo on Saudi Arabia.
However, the non-binding resolution is not fully adopted by all parliamentarians. A total of 539 members of parliament supported, while 13 other members opposed.
