Yemen

The United Nations continued discussions with Yemen’s mine action authorities, donors, and other stakeholders on a strategy for restructuring and strengthening mine action in Yemen. Sanaa’s National Committee for Mine Action released a five-year strategic plan for 2025–29. Humanity & Inclusion (HI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with YEMAC North (the so-called De Facto Authorities, DFA) and conducted operations in three DFA-controlled governorates.

• Yemen should accede to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) as a matter of priority.

• The DFA in Sana’a should expedite access for international demining organisations in order to accelerate survey and clearance.

• YEMAC-DFA (YEMAC North) and YEMAC-IRG (YEMAC South) should each report annually on mine action capacity and activities in their area of responsibility.

• YEMAC-IRG (the authority of the internationally recognised government) should release its revised national mine action standards (NMAS).
