Human Rights Chief Warns of Yemen Conflict
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, urged all parties in Yemen to de-escalate and prevent the country from returning to all-out conflict following an escalation in hostilities that has resulted in the death of 17 civilians since the beginning of the month, exposing civilians to further suffering. He emphasized the need to adhere to international humanitarian law and human rights standards, and to refrain from targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, especially as 18 million Yemenis are suffering from food insecurity due to the current situation. He also warned that attacks on civilian areas pose risks of escalation and increase the suffering of the population.
