The NGO accused the UAE of having used banned cluster bombs and hired mercenaries to execute and torture the Yemenis, presstv.com reported.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cOur complaint targets acts perpetrated on Yemeni territory by the United Arab Emirates, which does not recognize the ICC,\u201d said Joseph Breham, one of the group\u2019s lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA law suit is filed against the United Arab Emirates with the ICC over its collaboration with Saudi Arabia in its deadly war against Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe lawsuit drew an angry reaction from Anwar Gargash, the UAE minister, who tweeted on Tuesday that the AOHR \u201cwith its address in Qatar has filed a media complaint against the UAE to the International Criminal Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPeople with knowledge are aware that this move aims to create noise, which is Qatar\u2019s favorite game,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe UAE is a key ally of Saudi Arabia in its military campaign on Yemen, which has killed over 12,000 people since its onset in March 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Emirati air force has played a significant part in the aerial assaults against Yemen. Besides deploying its own troops to Yemeni soil, Abu Dhabi has been training the pro-Saudi militants fighting on the ground against the Yemeni army and its allied forces.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe country has also come under scrutiny for running secret prisons in Yemen, where hundreds of inmates suffer mistreatment and torture.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSaudi Arabia and its allies launched the war in a bid to crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement and reinstate former Riyadh-friendly regime, but the kingdom has achieved neither of its goals.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe protracted Saudi war, which has been accompanied by a land, naval, and aerial blockade, has left over 17 million Yemenis in need of food and caused a cholera epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn addition to its participation in the aggression on Yemen, the UAE is also a member of a Saudi-led quartet of Arab countries that has been leading a trade and diplomatic embargo on Qatar since June.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Saudi-led bloc accused Doha of supporting terrorism and gave it an ultimatum to comply with a list of wide-ranging demands or face consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDoha, however, strongly denied the allegation of supporting terrorism and refused to meet the demands.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tQatar&#8217;s former deputy PM has told the Spanish daily ABC that the UAE had hired a \u2018Blackwater-linked\u2019 private security contractor to train the mercenaries.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBack in October, Qatar\u2019s former Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah revealed that the UAE had even planned a military invasion of Qatar with thousands of US-trained mercenaries.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe military action plan was prepared before the Qatar rift, but it was never carried out due to its failure to secure Washington\u2019s support, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi The United Arab Emirates (UAE)\u2019s state foreign minister has reacted angrily to a lawsuit filed by a UK-based NGO with the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Abu Dhabi\u2019s war crimes in Yemen, describing it as a \u2018media\u2019 campaign by Qatar amid the diplomatic dispute between the two sides. \u00a0 On Monday, the Arab Organization [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[296,118,28,31,159,639,178,56,213,84,95,82,68,22,23,27],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 -
