The Houthi Judicial Council is an influential body that plays a significant role in administering religious law and maintaining judicial control in Houthi-controlled areas. It operates as part of the overall governance structure alongside oversight bodies like the Executive and Political Councils. It is typically supervised by individuals loyal to the Houthi leader, ensuring tight control over decisions and judicial processes. The council is a mechanism through which the Houthis exert authority over legal and administrative aspects of their territories.
