Considering the prominent role of the Yemeni tribe in making history and defending the homeland against invaders and enemies, and due to its effective influence on the daily life of the Yemeni society in all walks of life, and for its famous reputation at regional and international level, it is very important to energize the tribe's positive role in the field of defense and security, and it is significant to organize its affairs to prepare it to effectively contribute to decision making process;

And to help maintaining the nation's major interests and improving the social structure's action against challenges and conspiracies which are targeting the country and nation;

And as the country has been experiencing extremely unusual circumstances under the Saudi atrocious aggressive which is largely identified with the American-Zionist desires and objectives aiming to destroy any society holds free national attitude against colonization and imperial control over the region's peoples, resources and decision;

And for the destructive role of collaboration and treachery in encouraging the enemies and prompting them to launch their aggression on Yemen as there are no deterrent rules and restrictions in effects to deter the treacherous people who cause harm to the national interests and the nation's sovereignty, security and stability.

And given that the aggression on Yemen has amounted to war crimes and genocide against the humanity, seriously damaging everything in the urban and rural areas;

And aiming to maintain the good reputation of Yemeni tribes and preserve their civilized heritage and good record of protecting the nation's interests, and to fortify the tribes and protect them from infiltration and disintegration, to keep the social fabric as safe in the entire Yemeni arena, and to combine the official responsibility with popular' s, and as the public interest requires the Yemeni tribes have decided to endorse this document (Convention) of Tribal Honor to deter everybody may think of disturbing the country's security and stability, or violate the society's ideals and noble values. The Convention of Tribal Honor is based on the following bases:

First: Social solidarity Principle:

We, the free men of Yemen, pronounce that we are one single nation under the prophet Mohmmad's Shari'a, committed to the principle of providing shelter, altruism, offering blood and treasure for making the Almighty Allah's word above all, advocating the righteousness, resisting injustice and oppression, relieving the ones in need who are affected by the aggression.

The world has heard about our hospitability and it has seen our solidarity and mercy sprit among us. This actually attests that we are truly belong to our Arab predecessors, those great conquerors who established these principles in accordance with the legislation issued by prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, in "Al-Mdina Document" in which he said (" This document from the prophet Mohammed is a pact between the Muslim believers from Quraish and the people of Yathrib and those who joined them and align themselves with and went to Jihad along with them; they are one single nation—unlike other people—and that the pious believers hands are united together as one single hand against every aggressor of them may intend to cause injustice or sin or aggression or corruption among the believers; such wrongdoer shall never be tolerated even if he is a father, son or brother of anyone of them" ).

The Yemen tribes belonging to Qahtan and Adnan—represented by everybody attended or signed on his own behalf or someone else may deputize him to sign on his behalf, in accordance with the conventional norms that the attendant includes the absent—declare that they are strongly denouncing the aggression on Yemen, condemning the attackers and renouncing everyone who contribute to the aggression or support, incite or proved in favor.

Consequentially, the Yemeni tribes maintain their own right to respond to the attackers and their supporters. The tribesmen have the right to use all available capacities wherever and whenever that is possible. They categorically reject all kind of foreign intervention or mandatory, regardless the grave loses and sacrifices. Hence, collaborators shall be dealt with as estrangers, alienated and their tribes are no longer responsible for their actions.

Legal punishments stipulated in the laws of press and publications, political parties and civil society organizations shall also be applied to the collaborators. One more law shall be enacted to clearly criminalize and indict the treacherous guys and collaborators, as well as stripe them of financial and occupational rights.

Legal articles need to be established to stipulate that collaborators shall never be allowed to represent the Yemeni people in the official and popular forums, nor to participate directly or in directly in establishing any political, social or economic entities.

Fourth Social Exclusion

The tribes of Yemen have consensually decided that collaborators and treacherous people have been tainted by shame and dressed in felony and ignominy regardless any political settlement may be reached.

The collaborators shall be stripped of the rights to brotherhood, neighborhood, protection, companionship and citizenship, and their wrongdoing amounts to the same of those who carried out the aggression on Yemen, they are involved in every crime against Yemen and Yemenis. Their offense is considered to be transgression against the nation under the legislative term and tribes' norms, therefore everyone is fugitive unless he is arrested.
