Yemen Justice Network Submission to the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances on Enforced Disappearances and Memorialization in Yemen
The YJN is a coalition of Yemeni and international civil society organizations working together to advance justice and reconciliation within Yemen’s peace process. Formed in 2022 and institutionalized in 2025, the YJN co-launched “The Yemen Declaration for Justice and Reconciliation” with partner civil society organizations, expressing a collective commitment to addressing widespread rights abuses in Yemen grounded in victim-centeredness. Among these abuses – including historic and ongoing grievances – the YJN has called for any post-conflict justice process in Yemen to address enforced disappearances and abductions, as well as arbitrary detentions and violations of fair trial rights.
