The Head of the Humanitarian Affairs Section of the Kingdom's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, Fahd bin Mohammed bin Monekhir, said in a speech to the Human Rights Council, "The Coalition for Restoring Legitimacy in Yemen is fully committed to its military operations in accordance with the rules of the international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

He also affirmed the Kingdom's support for the efforts of UN Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths to reach a political solution to the Yemeni crisis, based on the Gulf initiative, and the results of the National Dialogue Conference and Security Council Resolution 2216, pointing to the importance of joining international efforts to support the legitimate government of Yemen, press Houthi militias to heed the will of the international community and hold them responsible for the situation in Yemen.
