Human Rights Ministry, OHCHR discuss joint work coordination.

SANAA, Feb. 06 (YPA) – The Minister of Human Rights, Ali Al-Dailami, discussed on Monday with the Human Rights Officer at the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Safeer Al-Din, ways to enhance coordination and joint work between the Ministry and the Office.

In the meeting, Al-Dailami confirmed that the ministry is working on evaluating the work of the OHCHR during the past period and the reports issued by it regarding the human rights situation in Yemen in light of the continued aggression and siege.

The Minister of Human Rights stated that “the aggression forces are still continuing to target citizens in the border areas and villages, which necessitates the OHCHR to carry out its international humanitarian responsibilities, whether during peace or war.”

He called on the OHCHR to deal positively with the ministry and the data it provides, as it is the authority concerned with that.

Al-Dailami reviewed a number of crimes and violations committed by the Saudi-led coalition since the beginning of this year. He expressed his hope that international pressure would be applied to the aggressor coalition countries in a way that was fair to the Yemeni people.

For his part, Safeer Al-Din affirmed that the OHCHR would spare no effort in documenting all incidents and violations, expressing his regret for the reality of vital sectors such as health, food, and education.

He also expressed his hope for the success of peace efforts in Yemen, adding that the OHCHR would work to arrange a meeting with donors to improve the conditions of prisons and the most affected sectors.
