This report was jointly produced by the Mwatana Organization for Human Rights, a Yemeni non-governmental organization, and the Open Society Justice Initiative. It documents the civilian harm caused by nine U.S. airstrikes, all apparently conducted by unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), in Yemen between May 2012 and April 2014. Field research for this report was conducted from May 2013 until April 2014, at the sites where each airstrike took place, in al-Baidha, Sana'a, al-Jawf, Hadramout, Marib, and Dhamar Governorates. The field research included 96 interviews with injured survivors and eyewitnesses of U.S. airstrikes, relatives of individuals killed or injured in these attacks, local community leaders, doctors and hospital staff who were involved in the treatment of victims, and Yemeni government officials. The research also gathered corroborating information, including written government statements issued in relation to civilian victims, photographs and videos of the aftermath of the drone strikes, and medical records. An independent munitions expert provided additional analysis. Research for this report was conducted in a context of pervasive U.S. and Yemeni government secrecy concerning the airstrikes, the tense security situation in many of the regions where the strikes took place, as well as the fear of reprisals that local communities experience in speaking openly about the strikes. In some instances, members of communities affected by the strikes refused to be interviewed. In other instances, security concerns prevented access to the sites of airstrikes. Interviews for this report were conducted in Arabic and translated into English. The interviewees were informed of the purpose of the interview and asked if they consented to their identities being disclosed in this report. The report does not provide identifying information for interviewees who were not comfortable with being identified. No financial or other incentives were offered to the interviewees for speaking with the researchers. This report does not purport to provide a comprehensive account of all civilian harm associated with all U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. Especially in light of the U.S. and Yemeni government secrecy associated with these strikes, it would be virtually impossible to conduct such a comprehensive study with sufficient accuracy. Rather, the aim of this report is to document the civilian harm caused by nine specific U.S. airstrikes. Specifically, this report seeks to determine the extent of this harm and when it occurred in relation to President Obama's Defense University (NDU) speech outlining the policy guidelines applied to U.S. targeted killings. The nine incidents described in this report were selected after research confirmed initial accounts of civilian harm from these strikes. In a number of cases, our findings of civilian casualties were confirmed by the...
