UN Security Council adopts Resolution 2837, demanding an end to Houthi attacks

The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2837 by consensus on Nov. 12, demanding an immediate and unconditional end to the Houthi terrorist militia’s military escalation and attacks. The resolution renewed targeted asset-freeze and travel-ban measures for listed individuals and entities, extended the Yemen Panel of Experts’ mandate, and called on member states to intensify efforts against the smuggling of weapons and components. The Council also expressed its intention to decide by Jan. 11, 2027, on appropriate steps concerning specified dual-use items; that future decision has not yet been made. The decision comes amid the Kingdom’s condemnation of the militia’s attacks on Saudi territory and threats to maritime navigation. In its Oct. 9 statement to the Council, the Kingdom affirmed its right under international law to protect its security and sovereignty and expressed support for Yemen’s legitimate government and UN-led peace efforts, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
