Argentina mulls war crimes probe into MBS ahead of G20 meet

November 28, 2018 11:54

'Authorities in Argentina are considering a war crimes investigation into Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman before his appearance in Buenos Aires for an international summit with world leaders,' reports Kim Hjelmgaard in USA Today.

'Late Monday, Human Rights Watch, a New York-based advocacy group, submitted a complaint to Argentina's federal prosecutor,' alleging that 'the crown prince violated international law in connection with a Saudi-led military campaign in war-racked Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country. Mohammed could face criminal liability for his role as Saudi defense minister, although Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler would probably be shielded by his diplomatic status,' Hjelmgaard writes, here.
