<p>The UK continues to use its role as penholder to support UN-led efforts towards
peace in Yemen. Most recently, on 28 February the UN Security Council adopted Resolution
2624, which reiterated calls for a nationwide ceasefire and for all parties to participate
constructively in UN-led consultations. Resolution 2624 listed the Houthi movement
under the UN arms embargo for the first time and renewed the mandate of the UN Panel
of Experts. In January the former Minister for the Middle East hosted the UN Special
Envoy for Yemen in London and also convened discussions amongst the UN, US, Oman,
Saudi Arabia and UAE to coordinate efforts to drive forward political dialogue in
Yemen.</p>
