Delivering her statement to the Council, Euro-Med Monitor’s Legal Researcher Carma Estetieh said, “Despite international obligations and the overwhelming evidence pointing [to] the direct impact of the arms trade on human rights violations in Yemen, recent reports have found that weapons manufactured in European countries are in the possession of armed groups in Yemen, further fuelling the conflict”.
The statement said that the difficult humanitarian situation in Yemen has not prompted the Aggressive coalition to stop fighting, despite the fact that over 400,000 Yemenis have lost their lives—and 80% of the population has become dependent on humanitarian aid to survive—since 2014.
Estetieh emphasised that the constant influx of arms makes the continuation of war possible. The international community has a collective responsibility to hold perpetrators of human rights violations in Yemen accountable, including those who provide them with the means to continue committing such violations.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor and the Youth Parliament for Sustainable Development Goals therefore call on European Member States to immediately impose bans on the export of arms, thereby putting an end to the crimes [being] committed by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
