UN Security Council Presidency Commends AMHRI’s Yemen Human Rights Monitoring
PRESS RELEASE :-
New York – 11 November 2026
The Association Ma’onah for Human Rights and Immigration (AMHRI) has received an official letter from the Ambassador of Latvia to the United Nations, who holds the Presidency of the UN Security Council for November 2026, in response to the Association’s ongoing advocacy efforts to monitor, document, and report human rights violations committed by all parties to the conflict in Yemen and to bring these violations to the attention of the Security Council. The letter also responds to AMHRI’s request to participate in upcoming Council meetings concerning Yemen.
The letter is of particular significance as it represents direct official communication between the Presidency of the United Nations Security Council and AMHRI, underscoring the important role played by the Association and other civil society organizations in monitoring human rights violations, raising concerns, and bringing the human rights situation in Yemen to the attention of the United Nations.
The Security Council Presidency expressed its appreciation for AMHRI’s efforts in advocating for human rights in Yemen and acknowledged its active engagement in the professional, daily monitoring and documentation of violations committed by all parties to the conflict. The Presidency also explained that the Council’s programme of work for November does not allow for the participation of additional briefers and that the next regular Council meeting on Yemen is scheduled for December.
AMHRI welcomed and expressed its appreciation for this official response from the Presidency of the United Nations Security Council in New York. The Association reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining direct communication and engagement with the Security Council Presidency to advocate for the rights of victims of the conflict in Yemen, promote the protection of civilians, and continue calling for the establishment of a comprehensive international accountability mechanism to address all violations committed in Yemen by both domestic and foreign parties, without exception, and to ensure justice and reparations for victims.
