11 September 2015
The members of the Security Council welcomed the announcement by the United
Nations and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen on the
upcoming talks that should take place before Eid in the region. The members of
the Security Council commended the decision by the Government of Yemen to
participate in these peace talks along with other parties. The members of the
Security Council expressed their appreciation and reiterated their full support for
the efforts of the United Nations and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General
for Yemen.
The members of the Security Council recalled Security Council resolutions 2014
(2011), 2051 (2012), 2140 (2014), 2201 (2015) and 2216 (2015), emphasizing
the need for a peaceful, orderly, inclusive and Yemeni-led transition process. The
members of the Security Council reiterated their demand for the full
implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions, and reiterated their call
from resolution 2216 (2015) on all Yemeni parties to resume and accelerate
United Nations-brokered inclusive political consultations.
The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their call on Yemeni parties to
attend the announced talks and any such future talks and engage without
preconditions and in good faith, including by resolving their differences through
dialogue and consultations, rejecting acts of violence to achieve political goals,
and refraining from provocation and all unilateral actions to undermine the
political transition. The members of the Security Council strongly condemned all
violence, attempts or threats to use violence to intimidate those participating in
United Nations-brokered consultations and emphasized that such action is
unacceptable.
The members of the Security Council emphasized that the United Nationsbrokered inclusive political dialogue must be a Yemeni-led process, with the
intention of brokering a consensus-based political solution to Yemens crisis in
accordance with the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative and its Implementation
Mechanism, the outcomes of the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference
and relevant Security Council resolutions.
The members of the Security Council expressed their support and appreciation
for the efforts of the Secretary-Generals Special Envoy for Yemen, who will
continue to engage with all Yemeni stakeholders to take steps towards a durable
ceasefire and a mechanism for the withdrawal of forces, release of political
prisoners and the resumption of an inclusive political transition process in
accordance with Security Council resolution 2216 (2015). The members of the
Council recognized the importance of UN ceasefire monitoring capacity to
support the process.

The members of the Security Council expressed deep concern about the
deteriorating humanitarian situation in Yemen, including the food insecurity
already facing millions of Yemenis across the country and the increasing risk of
famine.
They welcomed the United Nations revised humanitarian appeal which requested
$1.6 billion, but which was currently only around 24 per cent funded. They
encouraged the international community to contribute to the appeal.
The members of the Security Council urged all parties to take immediate steps to
facilitate the urgent delivery of humanitarian assistance and fuel for civilian
purposes to all parts of Yemen, as well as measures to ensure rapid, safe and
unhindered access for humanitarian actors to reach people in need of
humanitarian assistance, including through all of Yemens ports, recalling the
need for all sides to comply with the relevant provisions of international
humanitarian law and respect the United Nations guiding principles of
humanitarian assistance.
The members of the Security Council called upon all sides to comply with
international humanitarian law, including to take all feasible precautions to
minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects, and to end the recruitment and
use of children in violation of applicable international law, and to urgently work
with the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations to bring assistance
to those in need throughout the country. They also stressed the urgent need for
commercially-shipped food, medicine, fuel and other vital supplies to enter
Yemen through all of Yemens ports without further delays as a humanitarian
imperative because of the heavy dependence of Yemen and its people on
imported food and fuel.
