SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties stated that the Office of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the U.S. Department of State issued its annual report on the human rights situation in various countries around the world for the year 2023, including Yemen. The report, which spans 59 pages, highlights the patterns of violations committed by the parties to the conflict and their disregard for international law.
The report relied on local and international human rights sources, including Sam Organization for Rights and Liberties, for the second consecutive year.
The report is considered an official document that serves as a reference for describing the human rights situation in Yemen. It is also an authoritative source for various entities within the U.S. government, as well as many members of Congress and decision-makers in the United States.
