Mr. President,
Denmark welcomes the delegation of Yemen and thanks for its presentation.
We remain deeply concerned about the critical humanitarian and human rights situation in Yemen.
Denmark recommends to ensure the protection of civilians in compliance with the obligations under international humanitarian law, including immediate, full and unhindered access for humanitarian supplies and personnel to all parts of Yemen.
We are also concerned about the rights of women and girls, including freedom of movement.
Denmark recommends to fulfil the obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women [CEDAW] and to end any discriminatory restrictions on women’s rights, such as male guardianship, in law and practice.
Finally, Denmark recommends to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture.
Denmark wishes Yemen a successful review.
Thank you.
