Bahrain welcomes UN decision to remove Coalition from blacklist

Manama: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the decision of the United Nations to remove the Arab Coalition in Support of Legitimacy in Yemen from the list of child rights violations in Yemen from the UN Secretary-General’s annual report annex, after it was clear that there was incorrect information in the report, which made it lack the necessary professionalism and objectivity.

In a statement, the ministry affirmed that "correcting this administrative error reflects the UN’s keenness to maintain its credibility and the success of its mission as well as to help it carry out its duties in maintaining international peace and security."

The ministry considered the "correction as an important step in the right direction towards resolving the Republic of Yemen's crisis and supporting the great efforts being made by the Arab Coalition in Support of Legitimacy in Yemen on both the military and humanitarian levels, and pushes forward the ongoing peace consultation in Kuwait to reach a political settlement based on the terms of reference of the Gulf initiative and its mechanism of implementation, the outcome of the national dialogue and UN Security Council Resolution 2216."
