Violations Committed by the Warring Parties against Yemen’s Cultural Property
In conjunction with the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Mwatana for Human Rights launched today its report, “The Degradation of History... Violations Committed by the Warring Parties against Yemen’s Cultural Property”.Over the past three years, all parties to the conflict have been involved in attacks and hostilities against many cultural properties, including archaeological sites and historical landmarks dating back more than 2,000 years. The destruction of Yemen's ancient and modern civilization and its historical and religious buildings has been a notable feature of the country's fall into the abyss of a war without a resolution.Radhya Al Mutawakel, the chairperson of Mwatana, said: “The war in Yemen has impacted everything and has not spared the lives of Yemenis and their cultural property, including their rich history, unifying culture and collective memory. It is not only a loss for Yemenis, but also for the cultural heritage of all peoples.”“The Degradation of History” report documents various types of violations and attacks carried out by all parties to the conflict in Yemen, such as airstrikes by Saudi and Emeriti-led coalition. It also documents ground attacks, bombing, vandalism, demolition, and causing damage of varying degrees, in addition to using the surrounding areas of these culture properties to undertake acts of hostilities and their deliberate use for direct military purposes. Ansar Allah armed group (Houthis), forces of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, armed groups loyal to him and to the colaition, resistance groups, Ansar Al-Sharia, and Al-Qaida are responsible for these incidents.While Mwatana was finalizing this report, Salafi gunmen backed by the United Arab Emirates were bulldozing a 1200-year-old archaeological mosque in the Al-Faza area, at Tuhayat District in Al Hudaydah Governorate, on the grounds that it included a shrine visited by people.As the armed conflict escalated in Yemen, armed group affiliated to the United Arab Emirates took control of the Al-Faza area, which was under the control of Ansar Allah armed group (Houthis). As of the morning of Monday, October 22, 2018, the ancient mosque overlooking the west coast was still standing, but on the same day, at 1:00 pm, it turned into a pile of dirt, and as a consequence, Yemen lost forever one of its heritage cultural monuments.“The Degradation of Hisotry” report is based on investigative field research conducted by a team from the research unit at Mwatana, which launched extensive investigations in nine Yemeni governorates. The incidents of this report have been documented in various contexts since the second half of 2014 and for a period of three years. In these contexts, the incidents were the result of different types and complex patterns of violations and attacks on cultural objects in Yemen. The report details 28 incidents of violations out of 34 incidents documented by Mwatana, about various types of direct and indirect violations and attacks carried out against archaeological and religious sites.In its report “The Degradation of History”, Mwatana for Human Rights presented recommendations to the parties to the conflict demanding that they respect Yemen's monuments and cultural property. It also made recommendations to the international community and actors to press for the preservation of Yemen's history and civilization. Mwatana calls the UN Security Council to take measures to stop the suffering of Yemen and Yemenis.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
