This report examines the impact of the 2011 crisis and transition in Yemen on the means of dispute resolution available to citizens in the country. The authors argue that since the Arab Spring transition, all forms of dispute resolution in the country, from the formal justice sector to tribal arbitration, have been weakened. They suggest that this feeds instability and has the potential to exacerbate broader conflicts and weaknesses in the rule of law. The report also includes recommendations on what external actors can do to help improve dispute resolution in Yemen.
