On the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the Justice for Yemen Pact, along with over 50 civil society organizations, calls for urgent international action to address the escalating crisis of enforced disappearances in Yemen. The joint statement underscores the dire situation where all conflict parties have used enforced disappearances as a tool of repression and intimidation. This has resulted in over 1,168 documented cases, impacting men, women, children, and civil society workers alike. These actions represent grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian laws. The Justice for Yemen Pact advocates for the immediate formation of a national committee dedicated to locating the disappeared, providing support to their families, and ensuring accountability for these egregious violations. Additionally, the statement urges the Human Rights Council to establish an independent international mechanism to investigate these abuses and preserve evidence for future justice processes. These measures are crucial for dismantling the culture of impunity, addressing Yemen’s humanitarian crisis, and moving towards peace and justice.
