The Government of Canada has defended that joint bombings carried out by the United States and the United Kingdom against Houthi rebel positions in Yemen, supported by Canadian Armed Forces personnel, are “consistent” with the United Nations Charter. “They demonstrate the international community's commitment to defending freedom of navigation and international trade in the Red Sea,” Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly and Defense Minister Bill Blair said in a statement on Friday. In this sense, they stressed that the attacks – in which Australia, Bahrain and the Netherlands also collaborated – take place after the resolution adopted Wednesday at the United Nations Security Council which calls on the Houthis to put an end to attacks against merchants and traders. commercial ships. Furthermore, they condemned the “frightening” attacks carried out by the Houthis and called for their “immediate” end, as they have a direct impact on the transfers of food, fuel, humanitarian aid and other raw materials worldwide. “We remain committed to working with our partners in the Middle East to help promote lasting peace and security in the region,” they concluded. The rebels, who acknowledged five deaths in the American and British bombings, warned through their Supreme Political Council that now “all the interests” of these two countries are “legitimate objectives”.
