New Report Examines the Harms Suffered by Yemen’s Fishing Communities and Their Calls for Reparations
Global Rights Compliance (GRC), together with Musaala Organization for Human Rights, the Yemeni Coalition for Monitoring Human Rights Violations (Ras’d Coalition), and SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties, has released a new report examining the harms suffered by fishing communities along Yemen’s west coast and their priorities for reparations.
Based on 84 interviews with survivors, relatives of victims, and other stakeholders, the report documents how years of conflict and violations of international law have affected fishermen and their communities. Findings highlight patterns of harm including airstrikes, landmines and explosive remnants of war, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, torture, ill-treatment, confiscation of boats and equipment.
The report finds that these harms have had severe physical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences, contributing to displacement, food insecurity, and the loss of livelihoods. Despite this, victims have received little recognition or redress.
Interviewed fishermen identified compensation, restoration of livelihoods, healthcare, legal accountability, and stronger protections for fishing communities among their key priorities. Many also emphasised that an end to the ongoing conflict is essential to any meaningful recovery.
The report concludes that continued documentation, monitoring, and engagement with affected communities are critical to advancing victims’ rights to truth, justice, and reparations. It also underscores the broader need to place victims at the centre of discussions on Yemen and to ensure meaningful pathways to accountability and redress for those affected by years of conflict and abuse.

At @MusaalaOrg, we believe protecting the rights of fishers means more than protecting their livelihoods.

It means recognizing their human dignity, ensuring their right to justice, preventing their suffering from being forgotten, & ensuring accountability for those responsible.

Victims have rights.

The right to know the truth.
The right to justice.
The right to reparation.

Continued documentation, monitoring, and engagement with affected communities are essential to advancing these rights.

Many fishers emphasized that ending the conflict permanently remains essential to achieving any sustainable improvement in their lives.

Protecting livelihoods & preventing future violations requires more than temporary measures.

It requires lasting peace & accountability.

[Musaala for Human Rights | مساءلة لحقوق الإنسان @MusaalaOrg]

Reparations are not only about financial compensation.

Affected fishers also called for:

🩺 Healthcare & psychological support
⚖️ Legal accountability
🛡️ Protection of the fishing sector
📚 Educational opportunities for children
🚫 Measures to prevent future violations

For a fisher, a boat is more than property.

It is a livelihood. It is how a family earns an income & puts food on the table.

That is why the return of property & compensation for destroyed or confiscated boats & fishing equipment are among the fishers’ key priorities.

[Musaala for Human Rights | مساءلة لحقوق الإنسان @MusaalaOrg]

The affected fishers priorities include:

💰Compensation
🚤Return or replacement of boats & fishing equipment
🩺Physical & psychological healthcare
⚖️Legal accountability
🛡️Greater protection for the fishing sector
📚Education for children
🚫Measures to prevent future violations

[Musaala for Human Rights | مساءلة لحقوق الإنسان @MusaalaOrg]

Despite the scale of the harm documented, the report found no evidence that victims had received meaningful reparations or genuine recognition from responsible parties.

Existing mechanisms have largely failed to provide effective and transparent responses.

تقرير جديد يستعرض الأضرار التي لحقت بمجتمعات الصيادين في اليمن ومطالباتهم بالتعويضات
أصدرت مؤسسة الامتثال العالمي للحقوق (GRC)، بالتعاون مع منظمة مساءلة لحقوق الإنسان، والتحالف اليمني لرصد انتهاكات حقوق الإنسان (تحالف رصد)، ومنظمة سام للحقوق والحريات، تقريرًا جديدًا يوثق الأضرار التي عانت منها مجتمعات الصيادين على طول الساحل الغربي لليمن، ويستعرض احتياجاتها وأولوياتها وتفضيلاتها فيما يتعلق بجبر الضرر.
استناداً إلى 84 مقابلة أُجريت مع ناجين وأقارب الضحايا وجهات معنية أخرى، يوثق التقرير كيف أثرت سنوات من النزاع وانتهاكات للقانون الدولي على الصيادين ومجتمعاتهم. وتسلط النتائج الضوء على أنماط الأذى التي شملت الغارات الجوية، والألغام الأرضية ومخلفات الحرب المتفجرة، والاحتجاز التعسفي، والاختفاء القسري، والتعذيب، وسوء المعاملة، ومصادرة القوارب والمعدات.
ويكشف التقرير إلى أن هذه الأضرار قد تسببت في عواقب جسدية ونفسية واجتماعية واقتصادية خطيرة، مما ساهم في النزوح وانعدام الأمن الغذائي وفقدان سبل العيش. ورغم ذلك، لم يحظَ الضحايا إلا بقدر ضئيل من الاعتراف أو الإنصاف.
وحدد الصيادون الذين تمت مقابلتهم ان أولوياتهم الرئيسية تتضمن التعويضات، واستعادة سبل العيش، والرعاية الصحية، والمساءلة القانونية، وتعزيز الحماية لمجتمعات الصيادين. كما شدد الكثيرون على أن إنهاء الصراع الدائر أمر ضروري لأي انتعاش حقيقي.
ويبين التقرير أن استمرار التوثيق والرصد والتفاعل مع المجتمعات المتضررة أمور بالغة الأهمية لتعزيز حقوق الضحايا في معرفة الحقيقة وتحقيق العدالة والحصول على جبر الضرر. كما يؤكد التقرير على الحاجة الأوسع نطاقاً إلى وضع الضحايا في صميم المناقشات المتعلقة باليمن، وضمان توفير مسارات فعالة للمساءلة والإنصاف لأولئك الذين تضرروا من سنوات من النزاع والانتهاكات.

🔻 Physical and psychological harm
🔻 Long-term economic & social consequences

Their suffering cannot be ignored.
