The UK has played a leading role in diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful solution.

UK-proposed Resolutions 2451 and 2452 were unanimously adopted by the Security Council in December 2018 and January 2019, respectively. We have issued both P5 and UNSC statements this year, urging the parties to implement the Stockholm agreements and reiterating members’ support for the work of Martin Griffiths. Our work at the Security Council has helped to corral international support for UN Special Envoy and we will continue to use our role as penholder to support the UN-led peace process.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 04/10/2019 10:38:01 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>A political settlement remains the only means for bringing long-term stability to Yemen – there is no military solution to the conflict. The Yemeni parties must engage constructively and in good faith to overcome obstacles and find a political solution to end the conflict. The UK continues to play a leading role in international efforts to achieve this goal. The Foreign Secretary discusses the military and political situation in Yemen with the Foreign Ministers of the United States of America, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia regularly, and most recently on 23 January at our Embassy in Paris. In June last year the UK sponsored and coordinated a UN Security Council Presidential Statement, agreed on 15 June, which called upon the parties to the conflict to agree the modalities for a ceasefire, take steps to address the humanitarian crisis and restart political talks. We are now working urgently with our international and regional partners to ensure that the Security Council's words are converted into action. We support the appointment of the new UN Special Envoy for Yemen, and will work urgently to assist his efforts.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/03/2018 16:35:08 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
