Saudis violating int’l law in Yemen war: Activist
Press TV has interviewed Hazem Salem, a political activist in Cairo, and Michael Lane, the founder of American Institute for Foreign Policy in Washington, to discuss the Saudi onslaught against Yemen.
Salem thinks the UN Charter and international law do not justify the bombardment of Yemen based on the pretext that the Saudis are feeling a possible national security threat from the country.
The Saudi kingdom has ignored the “non-intervention principle” when it waged the war against the Yemeni people, he says, adding that Riyadh wants to install its own biased government against the will of Yemenis.
The Saudi authorities who decided to start the bombardment of Yemen are war criminals, the political activist says, adding that the Yemeni people are entitled to fight back foreign aggression.
For his part, Lane is of the opinion that the Saudis are not specifically targeting civilians and Riyadh is after returning stability to Yemen. He also says Saudi Arabia has the right to safeguard its southern borders from a possible threat from the Houthi movement.
