Tawakkol Karman Discusses Yemen Crisis and Peace
Tawakul Karman, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights advocate, presented her vision to the United Nations Security Council regarding the roots of the Yemeni crisis and the path toward achieving sustainable peace. She emphasized that the collapse of the Yemeni state and the erosion of its institutions are the fundamental causes of the disaster, and that the main responsibility lies with the Iran-backed Houthi group, which seized Sanaa on September 21, 2014, and violated the rights of Yemenis through crimes and the orchestration of a coup that deepens the humanitarian and security crisis. Karman called on the international community to support efforts to restore the Yemeni state by backing the legitimate government, strengthening institutions, ending the presence of armed groups outside state authority, and replacing military solutions with comprehensive political dialogue. She also urged the imposition of sanctions on those undermining peace efforts, the release of detainees, ensuring access to humanitarian aid, and supporting the increased participation of women and the achievement of justice, all aimed at rebuilding a unified state that exercises full sovereignty over its entire territory.
