To third States

international humanitarian law by all parties to the conflict, taking into account their level
of influence.
933. Considering the prevailing risk that arms provided to parties to the conflict in

of, and refrain from providing, arms that could be used in the conflict to such parties.
6.

and inclusive peace and to ensure accountability for serious violations and crimes.

humanitarian and other peaceful means to assist Yemen in meeting its responsibility to
protect its people from war crimes and violations of international human rights law.
936. The Human Rights Council should ensure that the situation of human rights in
Yemen remains on its agenda by renewing the mandate of the Group of Experts.

938. The Human Rights Council should ensure that the resources provided to the Group
of Experts allow for the effective delivery of its mandate, including for assuring continuity
of the secretariat.
