Yemen: The Security Council extends the mandate of the United Nations Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement

The decision – which was unanimously adopted – affirmed the vital role of the mission in preserving fragile stability, amid indications of renewed military escalation and deepening humanitarian needs in Yemen.

As the council reaffirmed its support for the agreement reached in Sweden in 2018 between the Yemeni government and the Houthis regarding the city of Hodeidah, the ports of Hodeidah, Al -Sleel and Ras Issa (Hodeidah Agreement), he repeated his call to the parties to work cooperatively to implement all its provisions.

The Council stressed the need to facilitate the increase in the patrols of the United Nations mission to support the Hodeidah agreement without obstacle, noting that the advanced context within Hodeidah and through Yemen, as well as the broader region and at the international level, can create opportunities for more efficiency, structural cohesion and coordination through the United Nations missions in Yemen.

The Council also asked the Secretary -General to present to the commission, before November 28, 2025, an additional review of the United Nations Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement with the aim of achieving more efficiency, structural coordination and coordination through the United Nations missions in Yemen. The Council expressed its intention to review the full scope of the options of the United Nations Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement, including ending the work of the mission, and making any necessary amendments to achieving efficiency and reducing costs, or otherwise, as the United Nations operations in Hodeidah may require developments on the ground, including, within the total of matters, a permanent ceasefire at the country level.

The United Nations Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement was established in 2019 to support the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement between the Yemeni government and the Ansar Allah group (the Houthis). The mission monitors the ceasefire, facilitates the re -proliferation, and supports the de -escalation reduction through communication mechanisms between the parties.
