Money Saudi Arabia celebrates the drop of a UN resolution to investigate war crimes in Yemen
The International Committee of Inquiry to investigate human rights violations committed by all parties in Yemen, became a committee of international experts to provide support and expertise to the Commission of the Government of Hadi to take over the investigation, this occurred following economic threats directed by Saudi Arabia The Netherlands is the author of the draft resolution in the UN Human Rights Council. The latter succumbed to those threats, which were added to American pressure and pressures exerted by France, which said it was seeking compromise, although it is not a member of the Human Rights Council.
The Netherlands withdrew its draft resolution, which was postponed until Friday, on a vote that was described as “consensual.” Saudi Arabia, which rushed through its official announcement, announced that it succeeded in convincing the Netherlands to withdraw a draft resolution calling for an international investigation of human rights violations, Saudi Arabia believes it is appropriate to declare a victory, while the anti-Saudi media have published the same news as a disgrace that Saudi Arabia brags about.
The Saudi moves at the level of the United Nations and its affiliated organizations have not subsided since the announcement of the Dutch draft resolution, and each time their delegates made statements asserting that their Yemen-led coalition adheres to international law and holds the army and Houthis responsible for crimes against civilians. Refused to form an international commission of inquiry into this, until it seemed as if the Saudis refused to investigate crimes they say the Houthis are the ones who commit them.
The most surprising thing is that according to diplomatic sources I told the correspondent Net, that France participated in the vote on the consensus resolution of the Human Rights Council, despite its non-membership in the Council!
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed disappointment at the failure to set up a neutral international commission of inquiry and considered the vote on the compromise project a small step in the direction of what it hoped would happen to hold accountable those responsible for the killing of Yemeni civilians.
Saudi Arabia has fought a fierce war against international and international organizations and Western countries that tried to pass the Dutch draft resolution through the UN Human Rights Council to form a neutral international commission of inquiry into war crimes committed by all parties to the conflict in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia’s last steps to succeed in dropping the project were the threat of resolutions aimed at economic relations between the two countries and the Netherlands and Canada to stand behind the draft international investigation of war crimes in Yemen.
The news agency Agence France-Presse said on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia hinted in a letter that it would take measures to affect economic relations with countries that support a UN resolution to open an international investigation into the violations taking place in Yemen.
“The adoption of the Dutch-Canadian draft resolution on the Human Rights Council could negatively affect bilateral political and economic relations with Saudi Arabia,” a message to the kingdom said.
She said Saudi Arabia would “not accept” the Dutch-Canadian draft resolution, which calls for greater support for the internal Yemeni investigation, which the United Nations says lacks credibility.
The director of Human Rights Watch in Geneva, who also read the document sent to several countries, described the Saudi hints as “outrageous.”
“It is insulting that Saudi Arabia seeks to use the threat of economic and political sanctions against countries in order not to support this kind of international investigation that could put an end to violations,” said John Fisher.
“The Arab coalition forces have bombed hospitals, markets, houses and funerals. Now is the time for the international community to say enough.”
For its part, the newspaper “The Atlantic,” the US documents, read by Correspondent Net, for correspondence between the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia and Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, including a document issued by the latter includes a report of what al-Jubair in a letter to the Royal Court that the steps required by Saudi Arabia and the UAE to counter the endeavors To form a fact-finding committee on the human rights situation in Yemen
