The State of Qatar welcomes the UN Security Council resolution No. 2451 on Yemen, calling for a ceasefire and for activating the agreements and commitments reached in the Stockholm negotiations.

This decision would alleviate the unprecedented human tragedy of the brotherly Yemeni people, if all parties are committed to it.

 The State of Qatar calls on all parties of  the conflict in Yemen to abide by international law and to enable international organizations to play their role. It also called on the parties of the conflict to assume their responsibility towards civilians by  protecting  them and to facilitate the means of protection and minimum living rights.

The State of Qatar also thanks the United Kingdom for its effective role in the issuance of this important resolution, and renewed the position of the State of Qatar calling for a political settlement in Yemen as days  proved that the military decision was not possible and that the continuation of the military option will only bring more woes and devastation to the brotherly Yemen and its people.
