Parliament condemns UN Secretary-General's decision on Yemen
[20/ June/2021]

SANA'A, June. 19 (Saba) - The House of Representatives, chaired by Speaker of the Parliament Yahya Al-Ra’i, stood on Saturday before UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' decision to blacklist Yemen for children's rights violators.

The House of Representatives of the Republic of Yemen strongly condemned this irresponsible decision.  He stressed that while the US-Saudi-UAE aggression coalition has been killing children, women, and the elderly in Yemen every day for seven years in full view of the international community, the United Nations and the Security Council have not acted against the crimes, massacres, violations, and unjust blockades that have gone beyond all international and humanitarian laws, norms and conventions as if it doesn't matter.

The Council noted that despite this, the United Nations dropped the name of Saudi Arabia from the list of shameful child killers in Yemen and the full-fledged war crimes that do not have a statute of limitations, in addition to excluding the occupying Zionist entity from the list of violators of children’s rights in Palestine.

Instead of taking responsibility for protecting children and safeguarding their rights from violations and convicting criminals and murderers, the United Nations and all its bodies and organizations should cover up their crimes in order to prevent them from being brought to international trial to receive their punishment as war criminals, he said.
