Hadhramaut: Local Official Stresses Comprehensive Access to Justice
Hassan al-Jilani, the Deputy Governor of Hadhramaut for Coastal and Plateau Directorates, stressed the importance of promoting comprehensive access to justice and developing coordination and integration between government agencies and related institutions. This is to ensure that women, displaced persons, and the most vulnerable groups receive protection and legal aid services effectively, safely, and without discrimination.
This came during the fourth quarterly meeting of the joint committee for the UNDP Global Programme on Strengthening the Rule of Law and Human Rights for Sustaining Peace and Fostering Development, and the rights of the displaced, funded by the Government of the Netherlands and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the Yemen Women Union in coastal Hadhramaut.
Al-Jilani praised the existing partnership between the concerned authorities and the UNDP, as well as the support provided by the Dutch government for the program's implementation. He stressed the importance of these interventions in strengthening the rule of law, protecting human rights, and developing mechanisms for accessing justice.
The meeting discussed a number of topics related to the progress of the program's activities. It reviewed the plan for activities scheduled for November and December 2026, the progress made in preparing the operational guide for the Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) dispute resolution center, and the achievements in this regard.
The meeting also addressed the presentation of the participatory census results for the pilot site in the Al-Masaken area, discussed developments at the women's police center and the results achieved within its framework, as well as the main challenges and needs related to improving its performance and enhancing its role in facilitating women's access to justice.
Participants reviewed the results of the female paralegals' activities, statistics on the services provided, success stories achieved, challenges faced during implementation, and ways to enhance their effectiveness and expand their reach.
