Justice and Positive Peace - Yemen Policy Center

On September 28, 2021, the Yemen Policy Center held a panel event on ‘Peacemaking Under Biden After Afghanistan: Paths To Justice And Peace In Yemen’, moderated by YPC Research Fellow Ibrahim Jalal.

Panelists: Baraa Shiban, Radhya al-Mutawakel, and Peter Salisbury.

The panelists looked at the Yemen conflict in light of recent events in Afghanistan, noting that US President Biden’s statement to ‘end wars’ to remake other countries inevitably has far-reaching and unconsidered consequences for many countries, including Yemen. In this context, the Houthis and other armed non-state actors are closely watching the consequences of US intervention in and subsequent withdrawal from Afghanistan, to seize new opportunities and secure gains. For Yemen to have peace and justice, there have to be strong and credible accountability measures through international mechanisms such as the Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court.
