To protect the properties, lives, and dignity of human persons worldwide, the
International Humanitarian Law seeks to uphold and promote Human Rights
Law and other international frameworks regulating the rights of civilians and
parties to armed conflict. The conduct of parties to the armed conflict who
have grossly violated the combined provisions of International Human
Rights Law and the International Humanitarian Law resulted in the
persistence of armed conflict and warfare in Yemen, thereby crossing every
access road to humanitarian rights and privileges. The researchers adopt the
doctrinal methodology to investigate the status of warfare in Yemen, the
provisions of the law on International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law,
and the extent to which the parties to the armed conflict in Yemen break
such laws. The International Humanitarian Law and the International Human
Rights Law regulate the conduct of actors and parties in the armed conflict
both in Yemen and the world at large. The finding of this study demonstrates
that all the participants in the conflict in Yemen violate the International
Humanitarian Law. Therefore, they are accountable for such violations. The
research recommends strict adherence and compliance to both the
International Human Rights Law and the Humanitarian Law throughout the
armed conflict in Yemen to have lasting peace. Furthermore, accountability
for violations committed should be identified, and all actors in the armed
conflict should be punished accordingly.
