[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=3) On Friday, a Saudi attack targeted Sana'a International Airport, resulting in the deaths of two of its employees.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=12) On Saturday, the Yemeni Armed Forces struck Khalid Airport in Riyadh, exposing the falsehoods of the Saudi narrative.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=21) Sana'a Airport has long been besieged by the Diriyah regime for more than a decade, bombed time and again. Today, Riyadh Airport's services have stopped as a result of the Yemeni response to what the hands of the Al Saud regime have wrought. Are action and reaction equal in the eyes of the United Nations? Or does it have

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=44) a flaw that makes it see differently?

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=48) The United Nations must maintain international peace and security, and to that end, it must suppress acts of aggression and other breaches of peace.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=59) This is what Article One of the United Nations Charter stipulates. Second, the Organization is based on the principle of sovereign equality among all its members, and this appears to be nothing but ink on paper.

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=75) The UN Secretary-General saw Riyadh Airport but did not see Sana'a Airport. He condemns the response and forgets the action. He adds that Attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure constitute a violation of international law, and it is worth reminding us that international law, and the aforementioned law

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=96) itself, establishes the principle of treatment in kind, and that is exactly what Yemen did, no more and no less.

[1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=107) Some may say that metaphor stems from his occupying the presidency of the UN General Assembly, so let there be a little fidelity to the Charter intended by that body, whose first chapter establishes its foundations on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its members,

[2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=126) meaning one is not the son of a free woman and another the son of a slave girl.

[2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=132) Its envoy, Grundberg, also joined him in condemnation, though he is tasked with neutrality among all parties and with creating an atmosphere conducive to a future political settlement, yet he seemed to side with his employer and show bias toward the Kingdom, not to mention accusations of threatening

[2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=149) navigation and other matters, to the point that anyone hearing him would think him a spokesman for bin Salman alone. This does not seem to be a matter of an airport hit here and an airport shut down there, as much as it seems to be a test of the meaning of justice When it is placed on the table of international politics.

[2:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=168) When the victim is Yemeni, silence becomes diplomacy, and when the response reaches Riyadh, the language of condemnation awakens, and the texts of international law are summoned from their drawers for the Charter.

[3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4kk0Uggm0o2e/en/un-response-to-sanaa-and-riyadh-airport-attacks?t=183) An eye that sees only one way, and sovereignty in it is a right bestowed To America's relatives and loved ones.
