Briefing text

Thank you, Mr. President
The humanitarian situation in Yemen remains a major issue, with 21.6 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in 2023. This assistance faces multiple challenges due to access restrictions and the dangerous security environment maintained by Iran's continued involvement in supporting the Houthi militia.
An example of this is Iran's continued provision of lethal military aid to the Houthi militia, demonstrating its influence and responsibility for the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Houthi militia.
We support any comprehensive just peace agreement that will stop the war in Yemen. this is important. However, we draw the Council's attention to the fact that any bilateral or regional agreement with Iran must not be used to evade its responsibility for violating the principles of the United Nations Charter and international humanitarian law.

Iran, as a member state of the United Nations, must be held accountable and punished in accordance with international law for its involvement in the commission of numerous crimes in Yemen.

The Association Ma’onah for Human Rights, Immigration and the Geneva Center for Justice strongly condemns Iran's crimes in Yemen, and calls for encouraging countries to refer the situation in Yemen to the International Criminal Court to open a comprehensive international criminal investigation into war crimes, crimes against humanity and other grave violations committed by Iran and its affiliates, the Houthi militia in Yemen and others.
Thank you all .
