After the Human Rights Council in Geneva adopted, with a large majority, the termination of the mandate and work of the Group of Eminent Experts on Yemen, this is the fall of the European draft resolution, and at the same time it is a historic victory for the countries of the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen, within the framework of human rights, so why is this vote considered A historic victory for the coalition countries?!

First of all, this decision is the first decision to fall in the Council led by European countries regarding the work of fact-finding committees in recent years, and this in itself is a good achievement, especially since it came with a large majority, which means that the countries of the world understand the fallacies, and the bias that was controlling the work of the group of experts concerned with Yemen.

More importantly, things have begun to return to their true state, especially since the mandate and work of the Group of Eminent Experts on Yemen have continued to work for the past four years, during which the team has proven a catastrophic failure in describing the facts of the conflict and the human rights situation in Yemen, since its formation and it has been biased Clearly, and he lacks objectivity and impartiality in all his reports, as he relies in writing on social media, and what is published by Houthi militia activists living in the West, and the team was not able to visit Houthi militia-controlled areas even once, in order to investigate and verify the crimes and violations committed by the Houthis. committed there, in addition to his refusal to visit government-controlled areas, despite the invitation that was given to him to visit!The countries of the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen and the legitimate government in Yemen have been able to refute all the allegations and allegations contained in the reports of the expert group on Yemen, all the conclusions and recommendations reached by the team, and its repeated attempts to accuse the coalition countries and the Yemeni government of allegations and allegations of human rights violations, at a time when Ignoring the systematic abuses and violations committed by the Houthi militia, which rejected all efforts to bring peace, led by the United Nations in Yemen, and the initiatives announced by the countries of the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen. The work of this mechanism has been in operation since its inception.

Perhaps the council members agreed to terminate the mandate of its investigators, after they found that the Houthi militia had committed acts that may amount to war crimes, most notably the New Year’s Eve attack on Aden International Airport, with the aim of liquidating members of the Yemeni government, in addition to turning a blind eye to crimes and serious violations of human rights and international law. The humanitarian crisis committed by the Houthi militia against the Yemeni people, as well as its neglect of the most important files in Yemen, represented by the Safer reservoir.Everyone has seen the unprofessional reports of that team, which overlook the violations committed by the Houthi militias, inside Yemen, and neighboring countries, through their use of ballistic missiles and explosive drones against civilians and civilian objects, which represent a violation of international humanitarian law, and therefore it was imperative for society The international community and the member states of the Council should not condone all of that, so the truth appeared, and the countries of the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen triumphed over that biased international team, and its mandate ended without renewal, not regretting them.
