The military and humanitarian tracks in the Yemeni negotiations (2015-2018)

Abstract

The study aimed at studying and analysing both tracks of negotioations: the military and the humanitarian and the extent of their use in the Yemeni negotioations (2015-2018).

 The study used both methods; the descriptive and analytical method to be analysed by , in addition to the historical and comparative approaches as well to discuss the two hypotheses of the study by listing and analyzing some facts and events of the negotiations, comparing their tracks, and analyzing the uses of the military track and the humanitarian once in the Yemeni negotiations, with the help of some pictures and evidence that took place in the multiple places of negotiation.

The study concluded a number of results: Most notably: the existence of an inverse relationship between the military track and the humanitarian track, and I also concluded that the negotiating parties used these two tracks to achieve political and economic goals. The study recommended expanding the parties participating in the negotiations, and starting to discuss a comprehensive solution to end the crisis in Yemen instead of fragmenting the negotiating files and delving into secondary details. It also recommended activating the popular diplomatic track "the second track" as a partner in the success of the negotiation process.
