  1. “Following her visit, we established a joint coordination committee to implement the action plan. The Council of Ministers endorsed the draft action plan drawn up by the United Nations and my Government in order to prevent the recruitment and mobilization of children in the security and military forces. In spite of its modest resources and complex situation, Yemen is cooperating with its international partners to prevent the recruitment of children and to ensure the demobilization of all others from within the ranks of the army. My Government reiterates its commitment to strengthening the promotion of the rights of children and highlights the need to step up efforts to end their recruitment. We thank all the organizations and partners working with us, including UNICEF.”

  2. “There is a national consensus that recognizes that children associated with armed forces are victims rather than culprits and that they must not be subject to criminal sanctions, in accordance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and legal norms with respect to juvenile offenses. Yemen has made great progress in the dialogue among the parties concerned. In April 2012, the Minister of the Interior ordered the implementation of legislation requiring that recruits into the armed forces be a minimum of 18 years of age. In her visit to Yemen in November 2012, Special Representative Zerrougui met with members of the Government, the President and representatives of non-State armed groups. The Government committed to developing a plan to end the recruitment and use of children.”

  3. “Mr. Bahah (Yemen) (spoke in Arabic): Allow me, at the outset, to congratulate the United States on its accession to the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I also thank the members of the Council and Special Representative of the Secretary-General Zerrougui. My delegation aligns itself with the statements made by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, and by the representative of Indonesia, on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Yemen is working to build a sound foundation for a democratic civil society based on comprehensive national dialogue among actors in the economic, social and political fields. That process seeks to prevent the recruitment, criminal exploitation and use of children and minors.”

  4. “At a time when it is working under very difficult conditions and with extremely limited resources in its efforts to deal with extremism and terrorism on the security and military fronts, the leadership is extending its hand to all, inviting all to move forward together on the path of dialogue and of implementing the outcomes of the National Dialogue Conference on which every element of Yemeni society is agreed, including our brothers in Ansar Allah and the Houthi movement. The Security Council has called on the latter to support the country and the outcomes of the national dialogue, rather than imposing a new status quo at gunpoint and fighting wars that have destroyed Yemen over the past 50 years.”

  5. “Benomar, both in Sana'a and New York, all the United Nations representatives in Yemen and the 10 Embassies and representatives of the diplomatic corps in Sana'a. While the political leadership represented by President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi Mansour continues to make progress in working towards peaceful change and national concord in order to achieve the various objectives of the transition period - that is, submitting a draft constitution to the institution that will deal with supervising the implementation of the outcomes of the National Dialogue and preparing for the referendum and the next elections - it is also working tirelessly to address the issues of living conditions and the difficult humanitarian and economic situation across the country.”

  6. “Every member of the Security Council continues to take an exemplary position of international responsibility in support of the aspirations of the Yemeni people in their efforts to achieve peaceful change and build a federal State founded on respect for human rights, freedom of expression and women's rights, as emerged from our National Dialogue, which has produced an extraordinary degree of unanimity among every element of Yemeni society. The cooperation of the Security Council and other United Nations entities with the Gulf Cooperation Council is also a great example of how good offices can succeed, internationally and regionally, in ending or reducing tensions. In that regard, we would like to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and his Special Adviser on Yemen, Mr. Jamal Benomar, the staff of the United Nations working under Mr.”

  7. “Mr. Bahah (Yemen) (spoke in Arabic): Allow me, at the outset, to thank you, Mr. President, for inviting us to participate in this meeting of the Security Council to adopt presidential statement S/PRST/2014/ 18, on the situation in Yemen. Once again, the Council has spoken unanimously in support of the political process under way in Yemen. With the support of the Gulf Cooperation Council Initiative and the various related mechanisms, it is again clearly reaffirming the provisions of resolution 2140 (2014), which warns individuals and entities seeking to hinder the national process designed to produce peaceful change in Yemen, and affirms the Council's decision to take punitive measures if they attempt to disrupt the political process.”
