It called upon the international community to shoulder responsibility and take decisive and immediate action against the grave threats posed by Houthis to international peace and security.</span><br />'' <br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">The statement cited the recent act of storming perpetrated by Houthis against an orphanage house in the capital Sanaa and their recruitment of orphan children and their use as human shields across battle fronts as a recent blatant example of the coercive force used by the rebels in defiance of all humanitarian and divine laws and conventions in a way that necessitates their trial by the International Criminal Court.</span><br />
