Ok Karen.  Maybe you and  Vanessa and Bob and others  can put together a Draft Appeal for circulation on the internet. I am teaching all day today until 6pm. But I could review it later tonight or tomorrow for sure. Then we put it out. And Vanessa you already have my comments on genocide that you can use if you wish.
But I got to go

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.
