Statement of conviction of the crime of targeting the aircraft of the Saudi UAE American for a bridge and a market in the area of Mufkhaz in Amran governorate.

On Feb 2, 2018

In new series of crimes committed by the Saudi-UAE-American coalition against innocent citizens, where the coalition aircraft launched,Yesterday afternoon Wednesday, 31 January 2018 m, several air raids,targeted a bridge and a market in the area of Mufkhaz in the Directorate of Qafla Atar in Saada province. As a result, 17 civilians were killed and 20 injured
We in the Civil Coalition for Development and Freedoms condemn and condemn in the strongest terms this ugly massacre, which is in accordance with the international humanitarian legal character of the four Geneva Conventions and the Protocols thereto as war crimes, this description cannot be interpreted or debated, since the targets are safe civilians, where international humanitarian law contains rules and principles aimed at providing protection mainly to persons not taking part in hostilities,(Ie, civilians in particular).This law applies in situations of war, and armed conflicts only. Its rules are binding on all parties to the conflict, whether States or non-State armed groups
It requires a basic rule in international humanitarian law must be careful to “distinguish between civilians and combatants.”
In addition to a similar rule, there is a distinction between “civilian objects” and “military objectives”, which form an integral part of one of the basic principles of discrimination.
Intentional targeting of civilians who do not take part in hostilities directly or against civilian objects is a war crime.
It is also prohibited to launch disproportionate attacks, such as attacks that may or may be expected to cause loss of life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects incidentally or cause both, and the damage is excessive in comparison with the direct and concrete military advantage of an attack. Is launching a disproportionate attack is a war crime.
If we compare the actions of the states of aggression with the legal characterization mentioned in the rules and articles of international humanitarian law, the Saudi-led coalition states bombard and direct air strikes without regard to the principle of distinguishing between civilian targets and civilians and between military objectives and combatants. They commit war crimes that require punishment and international prosecution. As provided for in the laws and articles of international humanitarian law.
As demand The Civil Coalition to form an independent international commission of inquiry on the crimes committed by the States of the alliance against innocent civilians, We condemn the silence of the international community and of international bodies and organizations, foremost among them the United Nations, which stands idly by in the face of the actions of the States of aggression against the Yemenis.
Appeals to the remaining conscience of the living and activists of the free world, condemning these crimes and massacres and stand by the Yemeni people, by exposing the countries of aggression and war crimes committed against the peoples of the world.
In conclusion of the statement, we ask God for the mercy of the victims, the healing of the wounded, our solidarity and our great sympathy with their families
And God the conciliator
