Geneva - Saba
The Yemeni government confirmed that failure to take strict and resolute stances and measures against the crimes and violations of the terrorist Houthi militia threatens the peace process, causes economic harm to all Yemenis, and exacerbates the humanitarian situation.

In its speech at the 54th session of the Human Rights Council, Yemen's Deputy Minister of Human Rights, Nabil Abdel Hafeez, indicated that this matter requires the need to enable the government to resume oil exports so that it can fulfill its urgent financial obligations towards citizens, including paying salaries that support the population to confront the difficult living conditions and financing food imports flowing to areas under government control and areas under Houthi control alike.

The government expressed its appreciation for the effort made in preparing the report of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on the technical assistance it provided to the Independent National Commission to investigate allegations of human rights violations, and the highlighting of the effective role of the National Commission in monitoring, documentation and verification, the results it achieved, and the level of improvement in its performance and the quality of its reports.

He stressed the support of the Yemeni government for the National Commission as an independent national mechanism that carries out its work with complete efficiency and independence, and receives all facilities and cooperation to reach the truth to achieve accountability, justice and reparation for the victims, considering the positive evaluation in the High Commissioner’s report as strong evidence for the continuation of the National Commission and raising the level of support provided by the Office Its High Commissioner so that it can succeed in its mission.
