Subject: Re: Yemen

Great idea! I am in. I am attending [I hope] an IHRC meeting in Lebanon on 24/25 March, where I will be speaking up for the Houthis as it is pretty much organised by Hadi's illegitimate government. Would be great if I can put forward a recommendation?

Also adding Mohammad Al Wazir of www.arwarights.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.arwarights.org&d=DwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=iioab8BLQ6IJxt-3gLhYzf1aAvTbGVgzPJj9W_0ugn0&m=lGGn1DhrttHbAfWgDorlkjl1kbOrRpmIGQBvRlVZi00&s=VSP-QpRlGU8kOGTBL401hEWb-yImAyDVeD0JAGees3M&e=> and Carla Ortiz to this email list.

Ok. MoveOn (ie., Soros) have their Campaign to pressure UN Security Council Members to convene a meeting of the Security Council  over the US/UK/Saudi et al. genocide against Yemen and in particular the Houthis. But the United Nations Secretary General can also convene a UN Security Council meeting under UN Charter article 99:
“The Secretary-General may bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.”

So why don’t we start a campaign to pressure the new UN Secretary General to deal with the US/UK/Saudi genocide against the Yemenis and in particular the Houthis  under UN Charter article 99 and by reference to the obligation under Article I of the 1948 Genocide Convention to “prevent” the genocide against the Yemenis and in particular the Houthis.
