<p>A nationwide ceasefire will only have an effect on the ground if it is underpinned
by a political deal between the conflict parties. The UK has played a leading role
in diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful solution. On 26 September, the UK co-hosted
a political event at the UN General Assembly to coordinate the international community’s
support for the UN-led peace process and endorse the UN Special Envoy’s plan to begin
wider political discussion.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has used its role as penholder at
the UN Security Council to help push the Yemen peace process forward. 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>
