Cairo: Yemen’s Minister of Human Rights, Izz Al Din Al Asbahi, has praised the leading role played by the UAE in the country, especially its participation in the Arab coalition to support the internationally recognised government in Yemen and the humanitarian aid provided to Yemenis.

In a statement on Tuesday to the Emirates News Agency in Cairo after his participation in a press conference held by the Arab Commission for Human Rights at the Arab League to review its report on Yemen, Al Asbahi said that the UAE played a great role in restoring full stability in Yemen.

He noted that what has been done by the UAE, and the nation’s martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sake of Yemen, emphasised the promotion of Arab unity.

The Chairman of Arab Human Rights Committee Charter Committee, Dr Hadi Bin Ali Al Yami, said that he regretted the serious humanitarian in Yemen and the daily suffering of the Yemeni people.

Dr Al Yami was speaking at the conference, which was devoted to presenting the report on a visit by a working team from the Arab Commission for Human Rights Charter Committee to Aden after its liberation.

Al Yami said that the report included important observations and conclusions about the great violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, pointing out that the team set recommendations to address the serious situation in Yemen.

The meeting reviewed the report, which was also presented to the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Dr Nabil Al Arabi, to review before a future meeting of the Council of the Arab League.
