  • Report on Human Rights in Yemen
    Report on Human Rights in Yemen Submitted by Human Rights Watch To the UN Human Rights Committee on the Occasion of its Review of Yemen in March 2012 February 1, 2012 This memorandum provides an overview of Human Rights Watch’s main concerns with respect to the human rights situation in the Republic of Yemen, submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (“the Committee”) in advance of its review of Yemen in March 2012. We hope it will inform the Committee’s review of the government’s compliance with its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“the Covenant”). It has been seven years since Yemen last submitted its State Report to the Committee. During this time, the government has engaged in systematic violations of the Covenant, including extensive restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association, and the use of ill-treatment and unfair trials of political detainees. Yemen continues to have one of the highest execution rates in the world. The government dramatically intensified its targeting of human rights defenders and journalists during its suppression of a secessionist movement in the south starting in 2007, and during nationwide protests seeking the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011. Yemen submitted its latest report to the Committee 14 months before the state’s security forces began a violent crackdown against largely peaceful demonstrators and opposition activists demanding the resignation of President Saleh.1 Attacks by pro-government gangs 1 Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under article 40 of the Covenant, Fifth periodic report of States parties, Yemen, CCPR/C/YEM/5, December 14, 2009, http://daccess-ods.un.org/TMP/8811841.01104736.html.

Amoureux de la nature et défenseur des peuples oubliés, il refuse fermement que mondialisation rime avec uniformisation.

A cet égard, la géopolitique permet de mieux appréhender les finesses des différentes cultures, contribuant ainsi à les préserver.

  • Foreign Consular Offices in the United States
    United States Department of State Foreign Consular Offices in the United States Summer 2007 FOREIGN CONSULAR OFFICES IN THE UNITED STATES, 2007 i PREFACE This publication contains a complete and official listing of the foreign consular offices in the United States, and recognized consular officers. Compiled by the U.S. Department of State, with the full cooperation of the foreign missions in Washington, it is offered as a convenience to organizations and persons who must deal with consular representatives of foreign governments. It has been designed with particular attention to the requirements of government agencies, state tax officials, international trade organizations, chambers of commerce, and judicial authorities who have a continuing need for handy access to this type of information. Trade with other regions of the world has become an increasingly vital element in the economy of the United States. The machinery of this essential commerce is complicated by numerous restrictions, license requirements, quotas, and other measures adopted by the individual countries. Since the regulations affecting both trade and travel are the particular province of the consular service of the nations involved, reliable information as to entrance requirements, consignment of goods, details of transshipment, and, in many instances, suggestions as to consumer needs and preferences may be obtained at the foreign consular offices throughout the United States. Note: Changes occur daily. Status of persons listed in this publication should be verified with the Office of Protocol. IMMUNITIES ACCORDED TO CONSULAR OFFICERS Consular officers should be accorded their respective privileges, rights, and immunities as directed by international and domestic law. These foreign officials should be treated with the courtesy and respect befitting their positions.

    Human Rights Watch Submission to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on Yemen Review of Yemen’s periodic report for the 67th Pre-Session September 2020 We write in advance of the 67th pre-session of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and its review of the Republic of Yemen’s compliance with the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 1. Protection of Education and Equal Access to Education During Armed Conflict (Article 13) The armed conflict in Yemen has had a grave impact on the accessibility of education for girls. UNICEF stated that before the Covid-19 pandemic, 2 million children in Yemen were out of school. Now schools have been closed around the country to protect against the spread of Covid-19, an additional 5.8 million children are out of school. Moreover, 55 schools are now being used as centers to isolate potential Covid-19 patients.1 Primary education is compulsory under Yemeni Law from age 6 to 14.2 However, guaranteeing this has become increasingly difficult during the armed conflict. The Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack identified at least 130 reports of attacks on schools between 2017 and 2019. The Education Cluster reported that nearly 1,800 schools were damaged or destroyed due to fighting between March 2015 and December 2018.3 An estimated one in eight schools are unfit for use because of the conflict – either destroyed, used for military purposes, or taken over as a shelter for displaced people.4 1 UNICEF, “Yemen Five Years On: Children, Conflict and COVID-19,” June 25, 2020, https://www.unicef.org/yemen/media/4281/file/Yemen%20five%20years%20on_REPORT.pdf (accessed August 26, 2020).

  • War in Yemen: Saudi Responsibility, European Complicity
    Foto: Freepik (FreeImages) MAY 2020 War in Yemen: Saudi responsibility, European complicity Since 2015, the level of violence in Yemen has grown significantly. In March of this year, Saudi Arabia decided to head a military coalition to reinstate the government of Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Hadi’s government had been deposed months before by an armed Yemeni group known as the Houthis, which Riyadh accuses of being an Iranian proxy. Since then, the armed conflict has become even more complex with the involvement of additional actors and the projection of regional and international interests. The war has had devastating effects on the population: there have been thousands of civilian victims, and it has dragged the country into an enormous humanitarian crisis. In fact, it is currently seen as one of the world’s most serious current crises. Over the last five years, the United Nations and several humanitarian and human rights NGOs have constantly denounced By: the serious abuses committed by different actors as a result of the armed Pamela Urrutia Arestizábal conflict in Yemen; many of these can be considered war crimes.
