Never one to back down on her political agenda, Tawakkul Karman, Yemen’s 2011 Nobel Peace prize laureate took the media to express her support of the UN Security Council’s latest resolution on Yemen, calling for a follow up on the ground.
While hailing the UNSC for its unconditional support of Yemen’s transition of power and its recognition on an international level of Yemen’s geo-strategic importance, Karman urged the global community to help Yemenis’ achieve their personal political, social and judicial goals by supporting the people as they seek to recover the looted funds of Yemen.
She also made a reference to Yemen’s controversial gas deal with TOTAL and GDF Suez, underscoring the need for a prize re-alignment.
She wrote in a statement, “in order for this resolution to be useful, welcomed and enhance trust and partnership between the Yemeni people and the world, I call upon the international partners for serious action that is conducive to recovering the stolen assets. This includes freezing the accounts of thieves (either spoilers or not) and invalidating the corrupt and unfair gas and oil contracts coupled with retrieving the proceeds thereof.”
Karman is adamant she wants the Yemeni people to be vindicated.
An outspoken supporter of transparency and accountability, Karman has been virulently calling for the organization of a system which will prevent officials from abusing their position by selling out favours to investors or allowing deals contrary to national interests from being agreed.
She said, “Necessary measures must be put in place to ensure that the State's institutions do comply by the principles of good governance and respect of human rights. The Transitional Justice law must be issued in line with the international standards, treaties and conventions. Proper laws must be enacted to effectively fight corruption now and in the future.”
