The Human Rights Committee at the Council of Representatives has stressed that the ability of the Kingdom of Bahrain to prevent the issuance of an international resolution at the UN Human Rights Council to extend the mandate of the UN Group of Eminent International and Regional Experts (GEE) on Yemen proves the outstanding success of the Bahraini diplomacy in this regard.
The committee said that the Bahrain-initiated vote, which was adopted by other countries, such as Russia, and is the first of its kind to be issued by the 47-member council, will enhance the kingdom’s regional and international role, as it reflects the confidence of the international partners in the efficiency of Bahraini diplomacy which calls for peace and stability all over the world, especially in countries suffering from conflicts and wars, including brotherly Yemen.
The panel indicated that the GEE on Yemen had misused its mandate, describing the Houthi militia leader as the “Leader of the Revolution”, on the one hand, and calling the militias as the “de facto” authorities, on the other, hence the need not to extend its tenure.
The committee pointed out that the kingdom adopts the political solution in brotherly Yemen, without any external interference, particularly from Iran, so that the Yemeni people enjoys security and stability, calling on the international community, represented by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner, to investigate transparently and impartially into the actions of the real perpetrators of war crimes in Yemen, namely the Houthi terrorist militia and those who support them with money and weapons.
