The Saudi-led Arab coalition in Yemen condemned as inaccurate a United Nations report on human rights violations in the war-torn country that was released on Tuesday. “The report did not mention the Iranian role in the continuation of the war in Yemen... and its continued support for the Houthis despite the clear evidence which the coalition provided to international mechanisms,” said a statement published by the Saudi state news agency. The coalition said it would provide a “comprehensive and detailed legal response” at a later time. The alliance has sought to cooperate openly and transparently with the team of experts since the beginning of its formation by the high commissioner for human rights in December 2017. Two meetings were consequently held in at the coalition’s headquarters in the Saudi capital Riyadh. Evidence and clarifications on all of the team’s inquiries were provided, continued the statement. Field visits to Yemen were also organized for the team and it was provided with all facilitations to ensure the success of its mission. The United Arab Emirates and Yemeni government also cooperated fully with the experts. The coalition therefore condemned the team’s report in which it alleged that the concerned parties had not given it information it had demanded. The alliance stressed its commitment to take all measures, in accordance to international humanitarian law, to ensure that civilian lives are protected in Yemen as it continues its military operations in the country. On the report’s claim that the coalition had impeded the delivery of humanitarian relief to civilians, it stressed its constant cooperation with the UN and other aid agencies. It questioned in this regard the report’s ignoring of the major humanitarian role that it has played and continues to play in ensuring that massive humanitarian aid is delivered to ease the suffering of the Yemeni people. It highlighted Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait’s donation of 1.8 billion dollars for UN agencies operating in Yemen. Moreover, it said that the report included fallacies in describing the conflict, saying it lacked impartiality in tackling the warring parties in Yemen. It attempted to lay the complete blame for the conflict on the Arab coalition, ignoring the real cause, which is the Iran-backed Houthi militias’ coup and their rejection of all UN-led peace efforts.
