Yemen (May 2013)
In its discussions on the situation in Yemen, the Council should request information on efforts to entrench women’s rights within the new constitution, and to carry out broad legal reforms to remove discriminatory provisions against women, and should press for the immediate impaneling of the Commission of Inquiry into the violations of 2011 which President Hadi issued in September 2012 and was meant to be formed within six months. Women’s participation in the national dialogue should be strongly supported.
