UN HUMAN rights high commissioner Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein denounced the weekend Saudi-led air strikes on a funeral yesterday and criticised the UN human rights council for allowing a “climate of impunity” in Yemen.

Mr Hussein reiterated his calls for an independent investigation of rights abuses and other violations in Yemen.

The 47-member Geneva-based council, which includes Saudi Arabia, all but ignored those calls at its last session in September.
