MOSCOW, (Sputnik) — Corbyn stressed that conflicts like the ones in Yemen or Syria should have a political rather than military solution.
"Under a Labor government, when there are credible reports of human rights abuses or war crimes being committed, British arms sales will be suspended, starting with Saudi Arabia," Corbyn said at the Labour conference in Liverpool.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries has been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request despite a ceasefire agreed shortly before.
In September, the report by two committees appointed by the UK parliament revealed that the UK government had been willfully ignoring the possibility of the misuse of the arms it had been selling to Saudi Arabia.
