The situation for Human Rights in Yemen is awful. The security forces have been responsible for torture, inhumane treatment and even extrajudicial executions.〔 But according to the Embassy of Yemen, in recent years there has been some improvement, with the government signing several international human rights treaties, and even appointing a woman, Dr. Wahiba Fara’a, to the role of Minister of the State of Human Rights.〔Embassy of Yemen: (Human Rights and Women's issues ) accessed 9-8-2006〕 Other sources state that many problems persist alongside allegations that these reforms have not been fully implemented and that abuses still run rampant, especially in the areas of women's rights, freedom of the press, torture and police brutality.〔Human Rights Watch: (World Report 2001 on Yemen ) accessed 9-8-2006〕 There are arbitrary arrests of citizens, especially in the south, as well as arbitrary searches of homes. Prolonged pretrial detention is a serious problem, and judicial corruption, inefficiency, and executive interference undermine due process. Freedom of speech, the press and religion are all restricted.〔(Derechos - Human rights in Yemen )〕 ==Treaties== Yemen is a party to the following human rights agreements:〔 *The Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) *The Convention Relating the Status of Refugees *The Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination *The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights *The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. *The international Convention on the Ban of Genocide *The international Convention on War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. *The international Convention on women Political Rights. *The Convention on marriage Consent and Minimum Marriage Age and Marriage Contracts Registration. *The Convention on the Ban of human trading and exploitation. *The International Convention on the prohibition racial Discrimination. *The International Convention on the Rights of the Child *The international Convention on Anti- Torture, Cruel Treatment and Inhumanity *The 1994 Geneva Agreement and their 1997 Annexed Protocol. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Human rights in Yemen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
