The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday approved a resolution demanding an immediate end to attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on shipping in the Red Sea.
There were 11 votes in favor, none against, and four countries abstained: China, Russia, Algeria and Mozambique.
The resolution that was passed "demands that the Houthis immediately cease all such attacks, which impede global commerce and undermine navigational rights and freedoms as well as regional peace and security."
US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield welcomed the approval of the resolution.
“The United States applauds today’s adoption by the United Nations Security Council of a resolution co-penned by the United States and Japan condemning Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The resolution unequivocally demands that the Houthis cease their attacks and underscores the Council’s support for navigational rights and freedoms of vessels of all States in the Red Sea in accordance with international law,” she said.

They must be scared out of their wits right now.
Ooooh, scary.
“Demands.”
Next will be a demand with stompy feet.
This time, the UN really means it.
Oh boy, THAT’LL show those nasty little Houthis! I expect them to go through a cargo ship load of Kleenex weeping in repentance.
Kleenex? Think of the global warming! They’ll use their beards and sleeves.
Hans Brix!
Not hard to do, since they have so few wits.
Probably a translation error.
Knowing the UN, the resolution was probably a call to end retaliatory strikes on the Houthis.
You’re bweaking my bawls, Hans, you’re bweaking my bawls!
Many years ago, I used to say of NJ: "I don't need a map to find NJ; I can smell my way there," referring to the numerous open garbage dumps. I guess the Houthis would make themselves very easy to track using the same hygienic techniques you describe. And do not, under any circumstances, shake hands with them!
and then goes back to wasting millions on the fake climate crisis ,LOL
I think the author misinterpreted the issue. It should read:
“UN Security Council demands end to attacks against the Houthi missiles, in the Red Sea”
The UN issued 16 resolutions to Saddam Hussein. Do they remember how well that worked out for them?
Oh so a strongly worded letter?
Russia and China couldn’t bring themselves to condemn their ally, but at least they didn’t veto the resolution. Even that would not have surprised me.
…and place them on double-secret probation….
Yes, those resolutions were used as legal grounds to justify the invasion of Iraq. I'm sure the Houthis Iran understands this, but war, more specifically a wider war in the middle east, might be exactly what they want.
