Maonah participates in the 62nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva
Geneva – 15 June 2026
The Association Ma’onah for Human Rights and Immigration (AMHRI), a non-governmental organization in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), has announced its participation in the Sixty-Second Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which will be held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva from 15 June to 9 July 2026.
The Association confirmed that its delegation will deliver a number of written statements and oral interventions on issues included in the Council’s agenda, including the human rights situation in Yemen, the protection of civilians during armed conflicts, international accountability, migrants’ rights, and the humanitarian challenges arising from regional conflicts.
In this context, AMHRI noted that the United Nations Secretary-General has circulated several of its official written statements as documents of the session, including the statement entitled “Attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran Against Gulf States and Their Human Rights Impact on Civilians and Migrant Workers”, issued under the United Nations document symbol A/HRC/62/NGO/34. The statement addresses the humanitarian and legal consequences of attacks targeting civilians, civilian infrastructure, international navigation, and migrant workers across the region.
The Association will also organize a side event on the margins of the session at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, bringing together international experts, human rights defenders, and representatives of civil society organizations to discuss issues of accountability, victim protection, and the promotion of the rule of law in Yemen.
As part of its activities during the session, AMHRI will distribute its Semi-Annual Human Rights Report on Yemen, covering the period from 1 January to 12 June 2026, in both Arabic and English. The report provides monitoring, documentation, and analysis of the most significant human rights violations and humanitarian developments across various regions of the country.
The Association reaffirmed its commitment to continuing cooperation with United Nations mechanisms, international organizations, and relevant stakeholders in order to strengthen the protection of human rights in Yemen, support accountability efforts and the fight against impunity, and ensure the protection of civilians and vulnerable groups affected by the conflict.
