Saudi-Led Coalition Operation in Yemen Has No Legal Foundation – Lavrov

„As of now it [the Saudi-led operation] has no international legal foundation. Of course, we were a bit disappointed, to say the least, by the fact that the operation was launched even without any consultations either in the [UN] Security Council or via bilateral channels, and that our partners – we value our relations with Saudi Arabia, with other members of this coalition, that they came to the Security Council post factum and began asking, again post factum, to approve what they had [already] started,“ Lavrov said.
