The Geneva-based Advisory Centre for Rights and Freedoms (ACRF) on Friday has submitted two reports to the UN Human Rights Council detailing war crimes committed by the Houthis and fighters loyal to deposed president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The reports, which dealt with war crimes during months of May and June, said the militias kept shelling Tawahi port and Al Buraiqa oil refinery in which 78 people were either killed or drowned and 79 others were wounded. The victims included children and women.
The Houthis, according to the rights body, have been shelling the port and the oil refinery with Katyusha rockets and mortars. They also rained shells on boats carrying displaced people killing several of them.
The ACRF labelled the attacks as crimes against humanity since they were committed as part of a deliberate plan targeting a group of displaced citizens and other civilians.
The crimes perpetrated by Houthis and their allies meet clause No (A) of article No 7 of Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The actions are also inconsistent with the Geneva Convention on the protection of civilian persons in time of war.
ACRF chief Abdulrahman Al Meseibly said: "The centre has requested the UN Council for Human Rights to refer the crimes to the International Criminal Court in order to bring the culprits to the justice."
