  1. “The results of the National Dialogue will be the only way to define the outlines of a new future, which the Yemenis themselves must do. The unity of Yemen is a Yemeni and international demand to preserve its stability, as well as international peace and security. We are sure that the Council will stand by us in that endeavour, as it always has. The Yemeni people themselves want to ensure that their own model is successful in overcoming the political crisis and that at the end of the transitional period there will be success.”

  2. “In that connection, I would like to point out the humanitarian suffering of approximately 600,000 displaced persons in Yemen due to wars and terrorism and the presence of more than 1 million refugees from the Horn of Africa, as well as the issues of unemployment, poverty, and malnutrition that threaten 40 per cent of the population. Despite such a precarious humanitarian situation, the 2013 appeal was financed only to the tune of 44 per cent. That, I believe, requires that the Council examine how the deficit can be made up, since that support is important for Yemen's security. To conclude, I would like to say that the people of Yemen are hoping for a clear position from this Council that will reaffirm the support it has always given to the Gulf initiative and to resolutions 2014 (2011) and 2051 (2012).”

  3. “Today's transitional efforts will not be successful unless the economic and security challenges, as well as the political ones, are addressed, particularly in light of the precarious humanitarian situation that Yemen is experiencing. The support of the international community for Yemen remains inadequate, although we recognize that the international community has understood that the way to deal with the crisis in Yemen is to provide it with the necessary support to enable it to achieve stability. That will be less costly, of course, for the international community than to see Yemen fall back into conflict and violence. Yemen must continue to be a shining light in the wake of the Arab Spring.”

  4. “President Hadi Mansour is sure that the transitional period and the National Dialogue will be successful. We must not move away from that towards a situation of violence. He always reaffirms that all constitutional and legal solutions are acceptable with a view to bringing about freedom and justice for all and to dealing with the genuine injustices that existed in the past. That is all part of Yemeni unity, which is not just a safety valve for Yemen itself but for the region and the world. Mr. Benomar spoke about the challenges of the economic and security situation through which Yemen is going. The friends of Yemen group has also dealt with those issues in detail.”

  5. “Benomar, those meetings have continued, and Mr. Benomar has been able to bring together the views of the participants. We hope that consensus will be possible. As in the past, through the GCC initiative, we have sometimes had to wait for months for consensus to be achieved, but our goal is to have a successful end to the transitional period and National Dialogue in order to accomplish the planned goals in a comprehensive manner. I would like to reaffirm to the Security Council that what we need from it as Yemenis is that the Council not dictate the solution but that it maintain unity within the Council and its support for the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative and its implementing mechanism, as well as the two relevant resolutions, and avoid any attempt to prevent the implementation of the initiative for the National Dialogue.”

  6. “I should like to add that six of the nine working groups have finished their work. The problem remains with the State-building group and the group dealing with the southern provinces. The success of the State-building group depends on the work being completed by the group dealing with the southern issues. A small committee of 16 - eight from the North and eight from the South - members from the southern issues group has been created to deal with that, including representation from all political sides, with members from north and south, to resolve those differences and arrive at a consensus with regard to the nature of the State. However, there are fears that there may be delays for unknown reasons, which could create a further separation in the future. Thanks to the good offices of the President of the Republic and Mr.”

  7. “Those solutions are part of the new Constitution, which sets out how power is to be exercised and provides for justice for all, the equitable distribution of wealth and the building of the State, while also addressing the administrative and power imbalances that were the source of previous crises. The solution must ensure that the experiences of the past do not recur; indeed, the best guarantee for the future is the Constitution, the rule of law and the State institutions tasked with implementing the outcome of the National Dialogue; external guarantees will help the political forces to remain involved in the process, in keeping with the agreements reached. Mr. Benomar's briefing described the developments in the political process since his previous briefing.”

  8. “The Council is thus called on to respect those resolutions and to reject any proposal that is not consistent with those goals, because that could give certain parties a pretext to go back to square one - which was a situation of violence and conflict. That is what we have been able to avoid up until now, thanks to the Gulfinitiative, the unified position of the Council and its unity with the GCC countries. The differences among and the legitimate claims of Yemenis in the north, south, east and west of the country were taken into consideration during the National Dialogue Conference, in full transparency, with no restrictions. Most of those involved in the Dialogue agreed on a consensus laying out a number of solutions.”

  9. “President Mansour has worked tirelessly in the area of the economy, which has been adversely affected by terrorism. The President focused on managing the National Dialogue Conference and was able to overcome obstacles through his wisdom and his patience. Despite his efforts, however, certain participants in the National Dialogue made a deliberate attempt to reject the five goals contained in the GCC initiative, particularly the need to preserve the unity, security and stability of Yemen. Those goals were reaffirmed in resolutions 2015 (2011) and 2014 (2011), given the importance of the Yemeni-agreed hewing closely to the five goals defined in the GCC initiative.”

  10. “Over the course oftwo years the Council has heard a number of briefings by Mr. Jamal Benomar, which have made clear that the Yemeni people are committed to the GCC initiative and its implementation mechanism, as well as to the National Dialogue Conference, so as to allow Yemen to emerge from its political crisis and to create a new Yemen. During his briefing today, although he spoke of the fragility of the economic and security situation and of other threats, Mr. Benomar stressed the commitment of the Yemeni people. However, in order for success to be achieved, economic and political support will be required in the areas of reconstruction and compensation. Members will agree that that cost, whatever it might be, would be lower than that of Yemen returning to the starting block.”

  11. “On behalf of the Republic of Yemen, we would like to thank the Secretary-General, who followed the political process in Yemen; the five permanent members of the Security Council; and the States members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which, through their ambassadors in Sana'a, made it possible to reach a political solution by reaffirming that it had to be Yemeni-led. We thank the countries of the GCC, which proposed the Gulf initiative and have continued to sponsor it. We would also like to thank Mr. Al-Zayani, Secretary-General of the GCC, as well as Mr. Jamal Benomar, Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on Yemen, for their tireless efforts to involve the Yemeni people in the process of resolving the most complex issues, particularly during the most trying stages of the National Dialogue Conference.”

  12. “President Mansour was able to manage the crisis in such a way as to absorb all ofthe parties and induce them to work together to implement the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative in keeping with the deadlines set. He was able to defuse the political conflict and involve all parties in the National Dialogue Conference. That acceptance is evidence of the degree of civilization of the Yemeni people, who, at the end of the day, have given priority to the interests of their country over those of clans, parties or individuals. The National Dialogue Conference has been a forum for the free, transparent and courageous expression of differing, sometimes provocative positions, but, most importantly, it has made it possible for people to hear and accept others' views and make concessions; it therefore stands as a good example.”

  13. “The visit of the Secretary-General and the Security Council mission to Yemen truly touched the hearts of the Yemeni people, because they reaffirmed the concern of the Security Council and the international community with regard to the crisis in Yemen and their support for the country during the transitional period, with a view to bringing the transition to a successful conclusion. The Security Council supported the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) initiative and its implementation mechanism by adopting resolutions 2014 (2011) and 2051 (2012). I am sure that the Council will agree that the leaders of the two parties to the conflict showed wisdom in agreeing to a peaceful settlement and the democratic transfer of power.”

  14. “Mr. Al-Qirbi (Yemen) (spoke in Arabic): I should like to begin by thanking the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia for the work done by the Australian Mission during its presidency this month. Our thanks go also to Mr. He'ctor Marcos Timerman, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Argentina, for his wise leadership of the Council last month. I would also like to convey the greetings of President Mansour and his deep appreciation of the role played by the Security Council in supporting the Yemeni Republic, which enabled it to peacefully overcome the political crisis; that was deeply appreciated by the international community.”
