In March 2019, HMSC was invited to participate in a high-level conference convened by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), focused on the escalating humanitarian and security crisis in Yemen.
Held over three days in Amman, Jordan, the event featured strategic sessions with UN representatives and selected advisors. HMSC joined a select panel of speakers, including the OHCHR Deputy Representative, to examine the tactical and humanitarian implications of arms deployment in the Yemeni conflict.
Our team provided strategic insights on the deployment of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), landmines, and cluster munitions—particularly along Yemen’s western coast, where weaponized terrain continues to hinder aid operations and threaten civilian populations.
HMSC advisor Hisham Khreisat delivered a series of focused briefings on the identification and impact of concealed munitions, contributing field-informed analysis to UN-led discussions on accountability frameworks and civilian protection strategies.
This engagement reflected HMSC’s commitment to supporting multilateral responses through credible intelligence, discreet advisory services, and applied research in conflict-affected environments.
