Tawakkol Karman welcomes UNHRC’s decision to expand work of UN Panel of Experts on Yemen
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman welcomed the UN Human Rights Council's decision to expand the work of the Panel of Experts formed by the High Commissioner.
"By this decision, the perpetrators of violations in Yemen have come closer to their trial in the International Criminal Court," said Tawakkol Karman on her official Facebook page.
Karman expressed her hope that the next report of the Panel will be able to bring them to trial in the International Criminal Court, adding: “This is part of the international protection to protect our people from the crimes and the war of genocide waged by the senior criminals of the Saudi-UAE coalition, the first of which Mohamed bin Salman and Mohammed bin Zayed and leaders of the fascist Houthi militia.
On behalf of our struggling people, I would like to thank the countries that voted to extend the work of the UN Panel of Experts in Yemen: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Republic of Korea, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Ukraine.
Karman pointed out that the report of the Panel of Experts on violations in Yemen is only a drop from the perimeter of violations by the Saudi-UAE coalition of treason.
Karman said the team had only investigated some crimes while the coalition committed more crimes than the number that the Panel of Experts team had investigated in a week or less.
Karman added: "We can say that our people are being systematically annihilated by the Saudi-Emirati treason and treachery coalition since four years and still under the cover of disgraceful, shameful and painful world silence," pointing out that it is more painful that the Yemeni government, led by the coalition, rejected the extension of the Panel of Experts work in Yemen because the team violated the professional standards, while it [the report] mentioned just some.
