Submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Yemen
Since Yemen’s last Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in 2019, the armed conflict in Yemen the Saudi and United Arab Emirates (UAE)-led coalition and the Houthi armed group (also known as Ansar Allah) has continued, leading to serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law that have resulted in widespread civilian harm. Parties have attacked and mined food and water infrastructure, as well as medical facilities, and have blocked access to humanitarian aid, leaving over 70 percent of the population in need of humanitarian assistance.
