UN Yemen envoy pushes Security Council for robust truce monitoring 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersUNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – A robust monitoring regime is urgently needed in Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah to oversee compliance by the warring parties with an agreed ceasefire in the region, United Nations Yemen envoy Martin Griffiths told the Security Council on Friday. Such a monitoring mission needs the backing of the Security Council in a resolution, diplomats said. “We hope to be able to work expeditiously with colleagues to bring about a Security Council resolution which will give the firmest possible support to what has been achieved so far,” British U.N. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned that the Security Council would be watching: “We must be ready to act if one or more of the parties fails to follow through.”
