The UAE on Tuesday accused Qatar of being behind a call for the International Criminal Court to investigate allegations of war crimes by the UAE in Yemen.

A group calling itself the Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK said on Monday it was taking the UAE to the ICC over "indiscriminate attacks on civilians" in Yemen.

UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash accused Qatar of being responsible. "The Arab Organisation for Human Rights with its address in Qatar has filed a media complaint against the UAE to the International Criminal Court," Dr Gargash wrote on Twitter.
"People with knowledge are aware that this move aims to create noise, which is Qatar's favourite game," he said. - AFP
