UN Special Envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar told reporters on Thursday he deplored NDC representatives' lack of vision when it came to reaching a consensus on Yemen transitional law, one of the key issue of the country's transition of power.
In a visit to Hodeida, Benomar warned that Yemen had to find a solution to its transitional justice law dilemma if it had any hope to move forward in creating strong democratic and legitimate institutions.
He noted that unless Yemen political class and leaders are able to find some common ground on the matter, the country will continue to suffer.
While Yemen transitional law cannot pretend to solve all issues linked to the former regime, what it can do is offer Yemenis a sense of closure, one which would allow the nation as a unit to move past old grievances and embrace a common future.
Benomar emphasized, "Yemen must take all steps to achieve transitional justice. Past victims should be offered compensation and the state should ensure that no further violation is tolerated."
Political sources have blamed Ansar Allah, the Houthis new political denomination, for the break-down in dialogue, alleging their representatives had not only objected to some of the text but also boycotted meeting sessions, in essence high-jacking the political process.
Members of the Southern Secessionist Movement are also refusing to ink the proposal on account representatives are not graping the magnitude of injustice South Yemen suffered by the hands of the former regime.
