Ministry of Human Rights: We regret Human Rights Council has abandoned its duties in Yemen

The Ministry of Human Rights expressed its regret over the Human Rights Council’s abandonment of its humanitarian duties towards the Yemeni people.

The ministry indicated in a statement that it followed with interest the course of the meeting of the Human Rights Council in its 48th session, which completely neglected the war crimes against humanity committed by the coalition of aggression in Yemen.

The statement stressed that the council did not move seriously towards forming an independent international investigation committee into all violations and crimes committed against the Yemeni people since March 2015 until today.

It also pointed out that many of the reports of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and its bodies and agencies working in the field of monitoring and documenting human rights crimes and violations showed a large number of such crimes and violations, and many crimes against Yemenis were ignored.
