Yemeni President:The Approach of the United Nations Violates its Charter ,Principles and Departs from the Aspirations and Hopes of the People
His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, Chairman of the Supreme Political Council, sent a cable of congratulations to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the occasion of United Nations Day.
President Al-Mashat indicated that Yemen is one of the first countries to join the United Nations, which bears the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations between countries, and achieving international cooperation.
He indicated Yemen’s keenness since 1947 to actively contribute to all forums of the United Nations and its various programs and to cooperate fully in various fields.
He expressed his regret for the negative role of the United Nations for seven years in Yemen, as it provided the political cover for the horrific crimes committed by the coalition of aggression, led by America, since March 26, 2015, with its brutal aggression and suffocating siege on the Yemeni people.The recent statement of the Security Council, which was accompanied by coalition airstrikes targeting civilians and civilian objects, is only clear evidence of this bias.
He noted that the continued adoption of this incorrect policy by the United Nations increases the peoples’ resentment and suffering day after day until the role of the United Nations becomes worthless to the peoples of the world as a natural result of its realistic departure from their aspirations and hopes and from the Charter and principles of the United Nations.
He said: What the Yemeni people are suffering from ,as the suffocating blockade in the air, land and sea, affects the lives of more than 25 million Yemenis and kills hundreds of thousands of Yemenis directly and indirectly while under the eyes and ears of the United Nations, a witness to the denial of all international laws.
He added that we in the Republic of Yemen, as we express the continuation of the Supreme Political Council and the National Salvation Government to cooperate with the United Nations and all international organizations that are based in the capital, Sana’a, we affirm our adherence to our people’s right to independence and freedom, and we believe that there is still time for the United Nations to bears its responsibility towards the Yemeni people to regain its role according to its charter.
The head of the Supreme Political Council affirmed that the seat of the Republic of Yemen at the United Nations is still vacant and that whoever occupies that seat does not represent the interests of the Yemeni people and receives directions from the Saudi ambassador. Continuing to recognize a false legitimacy that does not exist on the map of Yemen.
