Yemen: HOOD and Alkarama condemn the continuing extra-judicial executions
The two organisations warn both the US and Yemeni authorities that such operations, which have recently become more frequent, have caused civilian death, and is fomenting further conflict in one of the world's most sensitive regions.
Alkarama and HOOD point out that the US, when it uses terror to fight terror, undermines the legal and international treaties to which it is a signatory, and contradicts the very values which entire generations have fought to uphold and which humanity has long struggled to protect. This causes fears of a broadening and continuation of the cycle of hate and violence.
HOOD and Alkarama are monitoring and documenting the extra-judicial executions with the aim of presenting them to the relevant UN human rights protection mechanisms.
