The universal periodic review (UPR) is a unique UN mechanism, through which the human rights situation of each member state is reviewed once every four and a half years. The review process primarily focuses on the extent of compliance and commitment of states and governments to human rights and aims to urge and encourage states to adhere to their duties. Furthermore, the UPR facilitates the presentation of pertinent questions and recommendations aimed at enhancing the human rights situation of the state.

 

This review addressed ten human rights related issues and violations in Yemen, accompanied by a set of suggested questions and recommendations to be presented to the Yemeni government during the universal periodic review session scheduled to be held in the middle of next year, 2024.

This review was submitted in partnership among:
