A/HRC/42/CRP.1 to be presented at the forty-second Council session in September 2019. The mandate remains renewable as authorised by the Council. Resolution 39/16 was passed by a vote of 21 to 8, with 18 abstentions. It was opposed by Burundi, China, Cuba, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. 8. In its first report, covering the period from 1 September 2014 to 30 June 2018, the Group of Experts examined incidents based on the gravity of allegations of violations; their significance in demonstrating patterns of alleged violations; access to victims, witnesses and supporting documentation; and the geographic locations of the incidents, noting its inability to exhaustively document the extraordinary number of relevant incidents occurring during that period, but stating nevertheless that it considered the report illustrative of the main patterns and types of violations. The first report further noted many issues that the Group of Experts was unable to fully investigate, including noting particular alleged violations and abuses that required further investigation. 9. In line with the renewed mandate in resolution 39/16, this report of the detailed findings of the Group, intended to be read in conjunction with and as a supplement to the August 2019 Report of the Group of Eminent International and Regional Experts as submitted to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (A/HRC/42/17), covers issues related to the human rights situation in Yemen between September 2014 and June 2019. 10. Considering the increased access constraints faced by the Group of Experts following its September 2018 mandate renewal, the Group of Experts continued work towards fulfilling its mandate by prioritising investigation of incidents since September 2014 based on gravity of alleged violations and their significance in demonstrating patterns. Situations and incidents referenced in this report were selected on this basis. Investigations during the second mandate period were supported by a secretariat of professional staff from OHCHR with increased resources compared to the previous year. A small transitional team of OHCHR secretariat staff began work after the renewal of the mandate in October 2018; the majority of the OHCHR secretariat began work in January-February 2019; the final members of the team arrived in early April 2019. The findings of the Group of Experts as contained in A/HRC/42/17 were required to be submitted by late July for technical editing in advance of the Council session. 11. This detailed report and the High Commissioner’s report containing the findings of the Group of Experts (A/HRC/42/17) are based upon information gathered and analysed by the Group of Experts since its creation, including evidence related to issues and cases referenced in the Group of Experts’ August 2018 report, additional evidence gathered during the first year of the mandate that could not be referenced or used in that report or which remained under investigation, and further information gathered and analysed between August 2018 and June 2019. 12. The Group of Experts is grateful for the assistance and support it has received from government and non-government entities, United Nations agencies and partners working on Yemen. The Group of Experts notes that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Government of Yemen, all of whom cooperated with the Group of Experts in its first year, sent detailed lists to United Nations leadership of points they took issue with in the Group of Experts’ first report, and noted that they would not cooperate with the Group of Experts following renewal of its mandate in September 2018. All points noted in these letters were considered by the Group; while many were repetitive of those raised previously and responded to during the interactive dialogue in September 2018, others, which were raised for the first time, were taken into account in planning for and executing the investigations undertaken during the Group’s renewed mandate period. After having had access to Yemen and the opportunity to meet officials representing parties to the conflict during its first mandate, the Group of Experts could not visit Yemen during the second mandate because its repeated requests for authorisation to conduct visits remained unanswered. Only the de facto authorities agreed in writing to receive the Group of Experts but such a visit failed to materialise because the Government of Yemen did not approve the 6
