On 14 April 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2216 on Yemen.[1][2] Fourteen members of the Council voted in favor, while only Russian Federation abstained. The Resolution imposed "sanctions on individuals undermining the stability of Yemen, calling all Yemeni parties, in particular the Houthis, to end violence and refrain from further unilateral actions that threatened the political transition."[3]
The Council demanded that "the Houthis withdraw from all areas seized during the latest conflict, relinquish arms seized from military and security institutions, cease all actions falling exclusively within the authority of the legitimate Government of Yemen and fully implement previous Council resolutions."[1]
