A/HRC/30/31 in the Southern Governorates, established in January 2013 to investigate land-related violations and to provide victims with compensation, has stalled owing to a lack of funds. 81. Yemen has an obligation to investigate alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, to bring those responsible to justice and to provide victims with an adequate and effective remedy, including reparations and the right to the truth. I. Cooperation with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights 82. Following the escalation of violence and the evacuation of international personnel from Sana’a, OHCHR was forced to interrupt a number of technical assistance activities, and to shift its focus to monitoring and documenting violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. 83. OHCHR established a monitoring, documentation and investigation mechanism through the deployment of monitors in conflict-affected areas. In addition, a series of training workshops on monitoring and reporting human rights violations were conducted for the benefit of members of the Protection Cluster and national non-governmental organizations. During the period under review, OHCHR human rights monitoring and documentation formed the basis of its advocacy and by other United Nations entities regarding alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in Yemen. 84. Furthermore, OHCHR and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) facilitated workshops aimed at empowering civil society organizations that had been engaged in data collection relevant for the work of the Land and Dismissals Commissions. 85. OHCHR and UNDP also worked jointly to provide capacity-building to Government officials and civil society across the country in the implementation of the recommendations received by Yemen during the universal periodic review. Government sectors consequently included pertinent review recommendations in their respective operational plans. Moreover, OHCHR and UNDP supported the Government in establishing a national human rights institution. Before the hostilities spread to Sana’a in September 2014, OHCHR was working with the Government on various technical assistance projects, some of which were subsequently postponed owing to security challenges. 86. Through a joint project, OHCHR and UNDP provided support to different stakeholders in the area of the transitional justice, including by facilitating consultation workshops on the draft transitional justice law, convening representatives of the Government, the Parliament, political parties, national dialogue members, lawyers, victims’ associations and tribal communities, as well as representatives of minorities and religious communities. 87. OHCHR also supported civil society organizations advocating for the endorsement of a draft law on missing persons and enforced disappearances. OHCHR delivered human rights training workshops designed to increase the knowledge and capacity of law enforcement officials, judges and prosecutors on the rights of women, marginalized groups, persons with disabilities and migrants. 88. Lastly, OHCHR and UNDP provided technical assistance to the Ministry of Human Rights with a view to developing a national human rights strategy. A document outlining the basis for the strategy was developed in consultation with civil society and relevant government bodies. The strategy describes action to be undertaken by the Government, 16
