Flag and coat of arms adopted 22 May 1990. Yemen was formed on 22 May 1990 by the union of North Yemen and South Yemen.

Proportion: 2:3
Description: Horizontally divided red-white-black
Use: on land, civil, state and war flag; at sea,
civil, state, and naval ensign (as wel as naval jack).
Colour approximate specifications (as given in
Album des Pavillons [2000]):
The protocol manual for the
London 2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual
London 2012 [loc12]) provides recommendations
for national flag designs. Each
NOC was sent an image of the flag,
including the PMS shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced
a 60 x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may
not be the official, government, version of each flag, they are certainly what
the NOC believed the flag to be.
For Yemen: PMS 032 red and black. The vertical flag is simply the horizontal
version turned 90 degrees clockwise.
