The outcome of the review of Yemen comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/41/9) and the views of Yemen concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, as well as its voluntary commitments and its replies to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group, and which were presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary (see also A/HRC/41/9/Add.1). 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 604. The Government of Yemen expressed appreciation to all the delegations that made valuable recommendations and participated in the third cycle review of Yemen. The delegation looked forward to enhancing its cooperation with the Human Rights Council. 605. The delegation stated that the Yemeni Government has been working towards implementing its human rights recommendations, in conjunction with civil society organisations and the support of the international community, despite the many challenges it faces as a result of the coup by the Houthi militias. 606. The Government has been urging the House of Representatives to discuss and approve bills relating to human rights, including the minimum age for marriage, the draft law against enforced disappearance, and other bills on the accession of Yemen to the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, among others. 607. The delegation reiterated that the National Dialogue Conference still represented a very important and necessary road map for the future of Yemen. The delegation stated that, despite the challenges, the National Dialogue Conference has helped the Government in making measured progress in human rights. The delegation stated that a new draft constitution that aims to establish a system of good governance and promote the rule of law, democracy, and respect for human rights, is in the process of being drafted and will provide a basis for a new federal government. A government that guarantees a new political and social contract based on the principle of partnership and equality. 608. The delegation found it regrettable that the Houthi militias hindered the process of political transition and pushed the country into a situation of disaster, one that the Yemeni people are still suffering from. The Government, in cooperation with civil society, developed strategies that promote core human rights principles, including the National Human Rights Strategy; the Strategy to Combat Trafficking in Persons, and the establishment of the National Observatory to Monitor Violations of Children’s Rights. 609. One of the cardinal objectives of these programmes is to provide capacity building and vocational training to staff working in the field of human rights as well as developing coordination mechanisms with civil society organisations, the international community as well as with the private sector. The President of the Republic has established the National Independent Investigation Commission to investigate all allegations of violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. The committee has been carrying out its work 99
