Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi called on the Houthis to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2837, saying its implementation is needed to protect civilians and civilian facilities amid attacks affecting international maritime shipping.
Albudaiwi welcomed international support for the measure in a GCC statement issued Nov. 13. The resolution calls for an immediate and unconditional end to Houthi military escalation and attacks against civilians, civilian infrastructure, commercial airports and international maritime shipping, the statement said.
The United Kingdom submitted the draft, according to the GCC statement. Albudaiwi urged the parties to put the Security Council measure into effect, linking implementation to protecting lives and civilian facilities.
He also reaffirmed GCC support for Yemen’s internationally recognized government and the country’s sovereignty, unity, security and stability.
