Yemen Human Rights Commission condemns attacks in Saada

The National Human Rights Commission in Yemen has issued a statement condemning attacks in the border districts of Saada province. According to the commission, military actions targeting the districts of Munabbih, Baqim, and Qatab resulted in injuries to four civilians, including two African migrants.

The commission characterized these actions as systematic attacks on populated border areas, stating they constitute violations of international humanitarian law and potential war crimes under the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute. The statement further noted that targeting African refugees and migrants violates international refugee protection protocols.

The commission holds the Saudi government legally responsible for these incidents and has called upon the United Nations, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the International Organization for Migration to condemn the actions and ensure protection for civilians and migrants.
