United Arab Emirates

UPR Geneva 29-6-2018

Mr. President,

ICSFT is deeply concerned by the numerous cases of human rights violations which continue to be carried out by the United Arab Emirates both nationally and internationally.

The Saudi-led coalition war in Yemen has officially entered its fourth year and so far has been met by a deafening silence of the international community. In this environment of total impunity, the UAE, as the main ally to this coalition, continues carrying out a devastating air bombardment campaign in Yemen amounting to war crimes. Indiscriminate airstrike attacks against civilian infrastructure including medical facilities and schools are a clear violation of the laws and customs of war.
