Abstract

The war in Yemen has remained the world’s worst humanitarian crisis since 2015, and yet it is shockingly invisible. The global legal system fails to offer a clear avenue through which the Yemeni people can hold the state actors responsible for their harm accountable. This Note analyzes international legal mechanisms for vindicating war crimes and human rights abuses perpetrated in Yemen. Through the lens of Yemen’s humanitarian crisis, it highlights gaps in the global legal structure, proposes alternative accountability processes, and uses a variety of sources—including interviews with practitioners and Arabic language legal scholarship—to explicate a victim-centered transitional justice process for the Yemeni people.

没有权力的正义:也门与全球法律体系

自2015年以来，也门战争一直是世界上最严重的人道主义危机，但令人震惊的是，它是无形的。全球法律体系未能提供一条明确的途径，使也门人民能够追究对他们的伤害负有责任的国家行为者的责任。本说明分析为在也门犯下的战争罪和侵犯人权行为辩护的国际法律机制。通过也门人道主义危机的镜头，它突出了全球法律结构中的差距，提出了可替代的问责程序，并使用各种来源-包括对从业者的访谈和阿拉伯语法律奖学金-为也门人民阐明了以受害者为中心的过渡司法程序。

期刊介绍： The Michigan Law Review is a journal of legal scholarship. Eight issues are published annually. Seven of each volume"s eight issues ordinarily are composed of two major parts: Articles by legal scholars and practitioners, and Notes written by the student editors. One issue in each volume is devoted to book reviews. Occasionally, special issues are devoted to symposia or colloquia. First Impressions, the online companion to the Michigan Law Review, publishes op-ed length articles by academics, judges, and practitioners on current legal issues. This extension of the printed journal facilitates quick dissemination of the legal community’s initial impressions of important judicial decisions, legislative developments, and timely legal policy issues.
