News - Yemen:  The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the policy of double standards taken by the Security Council in dealing with the US-Saudi Aggression against Yemen. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the Security Council did not provide, in its latest statement, evidence of a positive approach towards the grievances of the Yemeni people, who have been facing an illegal and unjustified war of aggression for nearly seven years.

The statement indicated that it is unfortunate that the Security Council continues to condemn the legitimate right of the Yemeni people to defend themselves and the sovereignty of their country, while ignoring the war crimes against humanity that Yemenis are subjected to. They UN also ignored air raids on Yemeni territory, launched on a daily basis, in addition to imposed siege. 

The statement pointed out that the Security Council is silent about the violation of Yemen's sovereignty, the occupation of its lands and the destruction of its infrastructure, in addition to its constant disregard for the practices of terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, Daesh, the Muslim Brotherhood and other dangerous entities that enjoy the support and backing of the countries of aggression.

The Foreign Ministry statement described the Security Council's approach as lacking a minimum level of balance and fairness, which does not build confidence and does not help achieve peace as much as it encourages the other party to continue committing crimes against the Yemeni people. It pointed out that compromising the right of the Yemeni people to defend themselves and the sovereignty of their country is unjust and completely contrary to all laws and human values and assumptions.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that Sana’a’s positions are purely defensive, noting that the National Salvation Government constantly affirms its readiness to stop all forms of its defensive operations as soon as all forms of aggressive war imposed on Yemen cease.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs concluded its statement by affirming the readiness of the National Salvation Government in the Republic of Yemen for constructive and fruitful cooperation in everything that achieves peace and security for Yemen, the region and the world.
