Yemen and Security Council ; From ignoring war to reducing its after effects.
Yemeni ambassadors and experts believe that the Security Council is governed by Western governments and that their interests are limited to the continuation of the war and the siege of Yemen.
Yemen’s Al-Masira news website, in a report examining the UN Security Council’s performance in the Yemeni case, addressed the policies and positions of the United Kingdom and other members of the Security Council.
“In line with international interests, the UN Security Council continues to deal with the enemies of Yemen and the fence they have built for seven years around its nation,” the report said. The Yemeni case is a major humanitarian crisis, as members of the Security Council discuss it with the crisis management literature. Last week, a Security Council meeting was held on the Yemeni case, and permanent and non-permanent members of the council heard explanations from the UN Special Envoy to Yemen and the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs. In both briefings, the Security Council requested that in addition to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s ongoing inspections in Iran, that it monitor Iran’s compliance with “the steps required by the IAEA Board”. An issue that worries Britain and causes it to keep the Yemeni case in its hands in order to proceed as it pleases.
“The monthly meetings of the Security Council are like a recurring pattern of covering up the conflict in Yemen,” Abdullah al-Hajar, an adviser to the chairman of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council, told Al-Masira. In addition, the current developments in Yemen are not influenced by the decisions of the Security Council and the UN Charter and Resolution 2216. The siege of the Yemeni people, the seizure of the ships, the closing of the Sanaa airport to the people and all these actions, which are carried out in the form of a systematic targeting of the country and the citizens of Yemen, are against international law.
The Security Council requested that in addition to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s ongoing inspections in Yemen, that it monitor Iran’s compliance with “the steps required by the IAEA Board”.
Hajar added: “If you look at the decisions of the Security Council, they do not give legitimacy to the war and war is not allowed in any of its clauses.” But in the case of Yemen, what is happening is silence about this war and the siege of Yemen; Silence that makes it possible to sell weapons. These Western powers have never respected the Arab and Islamic nations; From the Palestinian issue and the Iraq-Iran war to what is happening in Syria and Libya and now in Yemen.
