A/HRC/21/37
OHCHR nonetheless noted concerns that investigations into past violations
remained selective and lacked credibility. The Government has not reached a consensus
over the draft law on transitional justice and the decree establishing a national commission
of inquiry. An amnesty law was adopted by Parliament granting absolute immunity from
prosecution to former President Saleh and all officials who worked under him.
OHCHR also notes the ongoing detention of individuals by Government security
forces without due process, and the lack of a comprehensive list of those still detained,
cases of illegal detention by armed opposition groups, and the continuing harassment of
and threats to peaceful protesters and journalists.
Lastly, OHCHR notes that, despite the expressed commitment by Government
forces and armed opposition groups, children under the age of 18 continue to be recruited
by both.
