Economic Rights and Transitional Justice in Yemen

How can restoring property rights contribute to justice and lasting peace in Yemen?

In this video, journalist Abdulrahman Anis highlights the importance of economic rights as a core pillar of transitional justice. Drawing on the experience of the SPARK Project, he sheds light on community-driven initiatives that supported the restoration of both public facilities and private property, helping address harms caused by conflict and displacement.

The video explores how restitution and the restoration of property rights can help victims recover their dignity, rebuild trust, and strengthen social cohesion. It also demonstrates that transitional justice extends beyond accountability to include practical remedies that address the economic and social consequences of conflict. Through these initiatives, SPARK has shown how restoring rights and resolving property-related disputes can contribute to reconciliation and sustainable peace in Yemen.
