answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2018 answer text <p>The UK keeps under consideration whether a new UN resolution would support progress towards a political settlement in Yemen. Given the lack of agreement between the parties at present we judge that the best opportunity for progress comes through the appointment of Martin Griffiths as the new UN Special Envoy for Yemen, which we welcomed. We encourage the parties to return to negotiations and participate constructively in the UN-led political process.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/02/2018 17:58:26 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The UK is playing a leading role in diplomatic efforts, including bringing together key international actors to try to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Yemen. As part of this we proposed the Presidential Statement passed at the UN Security Council in June this year, which called for an end to the fighting and a return to UN-led peace 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 call on all parties to respect these unified and clear demands from the international community. More recently, the Foreign Secretary hosted a meeting of his US, Saudi and Emirati counterparts in our Embassy in Paris on 23 January. They discussed ways of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, countering weapons smuggling and refocusing the political track to move towards a peaceful solution to the conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 02/02/2018 14:37:56 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
