Statement at 57th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council: Item 6 UPR Outcome of Yemen

A joint statement by ISHR, the Justice for Yemen Pact Coalition, and DTi, delivered at the UN Human Rights Council, paints a stark picture of human rights abuses in Yemen. Civil society is under attack, with activists facing arbitrary detention and disappearances. The lack of accountability for human rights abuses, particularly those committed by coalition members, is alarming. The statement highlights the disturbing violence against children, including killings, maiming, and recruitment, as well as Yemen’s failure to address critical recommendations for human rights protection. Accountability and reparations are crucial for a just transition, and the international community is urged to take action.
