Riyadh | September 21, 2026

The National Commission to Investigate Alleged Violations to Human Rights (NCIAHR), chaired by Judge Ahmed Sa’eed Al-Muflihi, held an expanded meeting with a number of ambassadors and representatives of diplomatic missions accredited to Yemen and concerned with Yemeni affairs. This meeting comes as part of the Commission’s ongoing engagement with the international community to update them on the latest developments in the human rights situation, as well as the results of its field monitoring and investigation work across various governorates.
During the meeting, which was attended by 23 ambassadors and diplomatic representatives, the Commission presented a summary of the key findings of its 14th periodic report and the outcomes of its field investigations into violations that occurred in the country during the reporting period.

The presentation also highlighted the Commission’s efforts in documenting and investigating violations, as well as its work to activate accountability pathways through national mechanisms.
Furthermore, the Chairman and members of the Commission provided a briefing on the reality of human rights violations in Yemen and the recent developments in several governorates, along with their direct impact on civilians amid the continuation of violence and the expanding humanitarian fallout.

The Commission specifically addressed violations associated with recent missile shelling and armed attacks that targeted cities and villages in the governorates of Taiz, Al Hodeidah, Lahj, and Marib. These attacks resulted in civilian casualties, damage to private property and civilian objects, and triggered waves of displacement that forced thousands of families to flee their homes in search of safer areas.

The Chairman of the Commission, Judge Ahmed Sa’eed Al-Muflihi, stressed that the Commission continues its monitoring and investigation into ongoing incidents and violations, grounded in its legal mandate to investigate alleged human rights violations committed by all parties. This effort aims to uncover the truth, safeguard victims’ rights, enhance accountability, and combat impunity.
He also emphasized the importance of maintaining continuous communication with diplomatic missions and international partners to directly inform them of the results of the Commission’s work and human rights developments in Yemen. He noted that supporting the Commission and national investigation and accountability mechanisms directly contributes to upholding justice, redressing victims, and strengthening the rule of law.

The meeting featured a discussion between the Commission members and the ambassadors and diplomatic representatives regarding the contents of the 14th periodic report, the challenges facing human rights work amid the ongoing conflict, recent developments and their humanitarian implications, as well as several issues related to investigation efforts, accountability, and the protection of civilians in Yemen.
