FM calls UN to take strong stance towards aggression countries’ violations

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hisham Sharaf, called on the United Nations to take a strong and frank stance towards the policy of collective punishment and violations carried out by the US-Saudi-led aggression coalition against the Yemeni people, according to Yemen Press Agency.

The move came during his letters sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the President and members of the Security Council, the member states of the United Nations and the Special Envoy to Yemen.

He demanded the United Nations and the Security Council to exert great efforts to against the arbitrary measures taken by the Saudi and Emirati aggression in accordance with the international laws.

Sharaf affirmed that the aggression states still continued to prevent the entry of ships carrying oil derivatives and domestic gas to Hodeidah port, in attempt to push millions of Yemenis to starvation.

The minister pointed out that the humanitarian catastrophe created by the two countries of the Saudi-UAE aggression would not have continued if the international community had broken its silence towards crimes and violations of the aggression in Yemen.

Sharaf , in addition, called on the international community, especially the five permanent members of the Security Council, to fulfill their responsibility in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations to stop these inhumane actions that increase the repercussions of the humanitarian catastrophe and the suffering of Yemenis, especially with the spread of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Sharaf concluded his latter by stressing that the two countries of aggression and its mercenaries in the exiled government continue to a policy of collective punishment, including preventing the entry of oil derivatives, which threatens to stop services, medical and health facilities, sanitation and others.

He considered that those arbitrary measures would undermine the efforts made by the United Nations to achieve a peaceful settlement and a political agreement to end the aggression and lift the siege.
