The Minister of Human Rights, Alia Faisal, reiterated on Sunday the firm position to call for the formation of an independent international commission to investigate the crimes and violations committed by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
“Any formed investigation outside this framework is not feasible and will not implement justice towards the violators of human rights,” she says stressing that such investigation must be independent.
The remarks of the Minister of Human Rights came during her meeting in Sana’a with Deputy Resident Representative of the High Commission for Human Rights in Yemen, Laith al-Qaoud.
At the meeting, the Minister of Human Rights expressed her appreciation for the efforts of the Office of the High Commissioner to monitor and document crimes and violations in Yemen, calling the group of international experts named in the resolution of the Human Rights Council at its 36th session in Geneva for a visit.
