في الحروب داخل المدن، نحو 90% من الضحايا مدنيون.
بيوتٌ بلا أهلها،
مدارسُ بلا أطفال،
مستشفياتٌ بلا كهرباء.
القانون الدولي الإنساني واضح: المدنيّ ليس هدفاً، وينبغي تجنّب الأسلحة المتفجّرة واسعة الأثر في المناطق المأهولة. #حماية_المدنيين #القانون_الدولي_الإنساني

Statement by the Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen at the conclusion of the tenth meeting of the Supervisory Committee on the implementation of the Detainees’ Release Agreement

Muscat - 23 December 2025. The parties to the conflict in Yemen concluded today a twelve-day meeting in the Sultanate of #Oman, during which they agreed to the new phase of releasing conflict-related detainees from all sides.

The meeting was held within the framework of the Supervisory Committee on the Implementation of the Detainees’ Release Agreement, co-chaired by the Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen (OSESGY) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). This was the tenth meeting of the Supervisory Committee, established under the Stockholm Agreement to support the parties in meeting their commitments under Stockholm Agreement to release all conflict-related detainees.

The Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for #Yemen Hans Grundberg welcomed the outcomes of the meeting and stressed the humanitarian significance of demonstrating progress on the release of conflict-related detainees. The Special Envoy expressed his gratitude and deep appreciation to the Sultanate of Oman for generously hosting the meeting and for its consistent support to the efforts of OSESGY.

“Reaching an agreement over another phase of the release of conflict-related detainees is a positive and meaningful step that will hopefully ease the suffering of detainees and their families across Yemen,” Mr. Grundberg said. “The agreement’s effective implementation will require the continued engagement and cooperation of the parties, coordinated regional support and sustained efforts to build on this progress toward further releases.”

The Office of the Special Envoy reaffirmed its commitment to continue facilitating the implementation of the Detainees’ Exchange Agreement, in line with humanitarian principles.
