PCHR considers this systematic shelling and siege of unarmed civilians and grave violations of all human rights laws and the rules of international humanitarian law that provide the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Additional Protocols of 1977 with special protection for children during armed conflicts.
The Human Rights Information and Training Center calls on the world to stop these systematic crimes against Taiz, which are war crimes against humanity. The United Nations Human Rights Council, which is currently holding its 36th session in Geneva, demands that this war be not mourned by unarmed civilians and a city under siege. The Center regards the silence of the international community as another crime against these victims, and the silence of the forces of society in Yemen is unjustifiable.
