Civil Society Groups Demand Urgent UN Action Against Impunit

For nearly seven years the people of Yemen have been victims of innumerable war crimes and human rights abuses.
Until last month the fact that the UN Human Rights Council’s Group of Eminent Experts (GEE) was documenting crimes by all parties to the conflict and reporting them to the world attested to a commitment to address widespread impunity for such crimes. It signaled to civilians in Yemen that Member States of the United Nations were not turning a blind eye to their suffering.
