Security Council fuels conflict fire in Yemen
SANAA, Feb. 26 (YPA) – In light of the military escalation and the ongoing violations by the Saudi-led coalition, the UN Security Council has tried to put the Yemen issue in a closed circle through issued several decisions that express a viewpoint of one of the conflict parties.
Since April 2015, the council has issued eight resolutions on Yemen, beginning with Resolution 2216, and ending of the decision issued on Tuesday No. 2511, which did not have any real response to change the reality for the better in the five-years old war resulting of the world’s worsening humanitarian crisis.
Observers considered the council resolution No. 2511, as a step to give the coalition more time for achieving its goals by focusing it on personalities and moving away from the essence of the conflict in Yemen.
“Security Council adopts a new resolution on Yemen, and the results not be promised”
On April 18, 2018, the UN envoy Martin Griffiths presented a vision to be balanced, in his first briefing to the Security Council, for resolve the crisis in Yemen, calling on all warning parties not to adhere to their previous positions, in reference to the coalition forces’ adherence to the so-called three references, “Gulf Initiative – the National Dialogue Conformance Outputs – the UN council Resolution No,2216.”
For reaching a political solution in Yemen, Griffiths affirmed that all parties should go to negotiations without preconditions.
“More than 18 million of Yemeni people are suffering from famine due to the blockade in light of absence of the international justice”
According to experts and analysts, the Security Council relied on the wrong and misleading inputs being made by the American-British states, which led to the wrong decisions.
Significantly, the Security Council expressed its concern about what it described as “obstacles on access of the humanitarian aid to the Houthi-controlled areas” according to the justifications for Resolution 2511, neglecting the sea, land air blockade that the country has been subjected to by the coalition forces in a flagrant violation of the intentional law, according to the reports of the UN experts’ committee.
Observers have believed that the Security Council’s resolutions contributed to increasing the humanitarian crisis and may also exacerbate the military situation, which have led to increasing war crimes and violations of international law by the coalition forces.
They have considered that the resolutions issued by the security council is a clear message to the coalition and its parties to continue to commit more crimes and violations in Yemen.
It is clear that the Security Council has become as a rifle in a U.S. hand to serve the American-British colonial agendas, instead of serving the humanity.
