According to unofficial translations, Yemen has incomplete implementing legislation. The Yemeni Military Code (Law No. 21/1998), relative to Military Offences and Penalties, doesn’t criminalize genocide, crimes against humanity, or crimes of aggression. The Code only typifies a very few underlying acts of war crimes and there are no provisions on cooperation with the International Criminal Court. The Military Code only refers to the “responsibility of commanders and other superiors” and “superior orders and prescription of law” principles. Yemen is a State Party to the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. |
