Aden – The United Nations Human Rights Council has adopted a resolution to enhance Yemen’s national capacities in the field of human rights, in a move welcomed by Yemeni officials and international observers. The resolution was passed without a vote, signaling broad consensus among member states on the urgent need to support Yemen’s institutions amid ongoing challenges.

The initiative aims to provide technical assistance, training, and institutional support to help Yemen improve its human rights framework, promote accountability, and protect vulnerable populations affected by years of conflict and instability.

The resolution encourages collaboration between the Yemeni government, civil society organizations, and international partners to strengthen legal mechanisms, improve monitoring and reporting, and ensure compliance with international human rights standards.

Yemen’s representative to the UN in Geneva expressed gratitude for the Council’s support, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in rebuilding the country’s human rights infrastructure. Human rights advocates also praised the move as a constructive step toward empowering local institutions and fostering long-term stability.

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is expected to coordinate the implementation of the resolution in partnership with Yemeni authorities and relevant stakeholders.
