Goal 1 of preventing violations and strengthening protection of human rights, including in situations of conflict and insecurity will be achieved by reaching two results. First, violations of international human rights and humanitarian law need to be monitored and publicly reported, with a special focus on abuses perpetrated by parties to the conflict, in particular targeting civilians and civilian objects and infrastructure and arbitrary detention, and inform joint UN response. Second, Yemen's judicial system needs to act with increasing accountability for violations committed by the Yemeni Security Forces. These results, in turn, are underpinned by five outputs:

1.1 Violations of international human rights and humanitarian law with a special focus on abuses perpetrated by parties to the conflict in particular targeting of civilians and civilian objectives and arbitrary detention, violation to ESCR, people with disabilities, GBV and prisons status are documented.
