<p>We are deeply concerned by the human rights violations and abuses reported by the
UN in August 2018. It is vital that all parties to the conflict make every effort
to promote and protect human rights. Yemen remains a human rights priority country
for the UK. In the 2018 Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Human Rights and Democracy
Report, we highlighted our concerns over women’s rights including girls’ education,
the recruitment of child soldiers, arbitrary detention, and attacks on freedom of
religion or belief and on freedom of speech and association. We have raised the FCO's
report directly with the Human Rights Minister for the Government of Yemen, voicing
our concerns. We will continue to work with all parties and international partners,
including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, to find a political solution
to the conflict, in order to create the conditions to improve and protect human rights
in Yemen.</p>
