We remain deeply concerned about the human rights situation in Yemen. The conflict
and temporary suspension of Embassy operations in Sana’a in February 2015 has hampered
our ability to pursue human rights work. The UK has previously lobbied the Yemeni
Government – both bilaterally and through the Human Rights Council – on a wide range
of human rights issues. We continue to raise the importance of compliance with human
rights law with all sides to the conflict and to find a political solution to the
conflict, which will help create the conditions for the legitimate Government to improve
its capacity to protect human rights. The UK welcomes Yemen's commitment at the last
Human Rights Council session to cooperate with the UN on protection of human rights.
