Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, said, “noting that airstrikes were launched yesterday across multiple parts of Yemen by the United States and the United Kingdom, with the support of other countries, the Secretary-General underscores that Security Council Resolution 2722 (2024) must be fully respected in its entirety.” Briefing journalists today (12 Jan) in New York, Dujarric said, “the Secretary-General reiterates that attacks against international shipping in the Red Sea are not acceptable as they endanger the safety and security of global supply chains and have a negative impact on the economic and humanitarian situation around the world.” The spokesperson added, “the Security Council demands, in resolution 2722 (2024), that the Houthis immediately cease all such attacks on commercial shipping. The resolution must be fully respected.” He also said that the Secretary-General “calls upon all Member States defending their vessels from attacks to do so in accordance with international law, as stipulated in the Resolution.” “The Secretary-General further calls upon all parties involved not to escalate even more the situation in the interest of peace and stability in the Red Sea and the wider region,” said Dujarric. “The Secretary-General stresses the need to avoid acts that could further worsen the situation in Yemen itself. He calls for every effort to be made to ensure that Yemen pursues a path of peace and that the work undertaken thus far to end the conflict in Yemen should not be lost,” the spokesperson concluded. #un #yemen #houthis The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
