The Union of Islamic Student Association in Europe (UISAE) has sent a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon over Saudi crimes in Yemen.
The full text of the letter comes as follows:
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
’A letter to Secretary General of the United Nations′
H.E. Mr. Ban Ki Moon
Secretary- General
United Nations
New York
Excellency,
Over the past few years, many nations have suffered from a threat to the international peace and security. By the increasing theorization and sponsored radicalism, discrimination and terrorism, even more nations are experiencing inhumane disasters. More than a year has passed since Saudi Arabia and its allies’ invasion of Yemen which is clearly in contradiction with the provisions of Article 2 (4) of the UN charter. This invasion has led to the massacre of dozens of civilians, including children and women.
These people are savagely targeted by bullets and missiles, while they have played no role in Yemen’s domestic conflicts. More regrettably, the organizations advocating the human rights have kept silent about these massacres and there is no adequate coverage of this invasion by the international media.
This situation has provided Saudi Arabia and its allies with more chance to violate the basic human rights of its own people as well as others including the lives and properties of the people of Yemen.
Excellency,
The United Nations is responsible for establishing peace and security across the globe, according to the UN charter. Thus, the UN is expected to adopt a clear and definitive position on this waging war. Keeping silent about and ignoring Saudi Arabia’s destructive role in this huge humanitarian disaster and indifference to such a cruel aggression and savage massacre will definitely damage the legal status of the UN and the international security and order will be endangered. Do you not think that this continued silence, indifference and inaction by the UN is totally in contradiction with the spirit of the UN charter? Do you not think that the continuation of this policy means nothing but complicity in invasion of Yemen and helping the aggressor against the oppressed?
Excellency,
Destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure by the invaders will endanger and cause insecurity for the future of this country and it will yield to nothing but more poverty and weakness of that country. Such a destructive war will prepare the ground for chaos, as well as the emergence of extreme and violence-seeking mainstream group in the region, which can endanger the peace by prolonging the instability in the region.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
