Sana'a:The Deputy Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Judge Ibrahim Al-Shami, has mandated that the report by the "Nidaa Al-Karama" Center for Rights and Development, titled "False Protection A Decade of Occupation," be recognized as an official human rights and criminal evidentiary document for inclusion in the State's central archive.
According to Yemen News Agency, the Deputy Minister stated that the field evidence in the report will be validated in line with internationally accepted criminal protocols. This move is intended as a preparatory step for launching criminal prosecutions against leaders of aggressor nations, occupation officers, officials of international private security firms, and mercenaries, at both national and international legal forums.
The Deputy Minister emphasized that the crimes documented in the report, committed by the Saudi-Emirati occupation against the Yemeni populace in the southern governorates, qualify as war crimes and crimes against humanity, which are exempt from any statute of limitations. He urged global independent judicial and human rights bodies to break the silence and push for the referral of these crimes to the International Criminal Court.
Furthermore, he demanded that the aggressor forces withdraw immediately and unconditionally, shut down all unauthorized detention centers, and release those unlawfully detained or disappeared. He also asserted that the coalition of aggression holds full legal responsibility for compensating all human and material losses and for reconstructing the destroyed infrastructure.
Zaid Al-Gharsi, head of the Nidaa Al-Karama Center, described the report as a comprehensive evidentiary document. It details the humanitarian consequences of the Saudi-American-Emirati coalition's military actions and policies in Yemen's southern governorates over a decade, from December 2015 to December 2025. The report offers a legal analysis prioritizing accountability and examines structural vulnerabilities that exposed civilians and essential objects to violations, leading to a collapse in legal protection and a decline in fundamental rights.
Al-Gharsi noted that the monitoring teams adhered to documentation methodologies that meet international standards, maintaining strict confidentiality of sources despite the complex security environment, thereby ensuring professional independence in line with international humanitarian and human rights law principles.
