UN Security Council Unanimously Extends Yemen Sanctions to November 2027 in Resolution 2837
The UN Security Council on November 12, 2026, at UN Headquarters in New York, unanimously adopted resolution 2837 (2026), extending the Yemen sanctions regime for another year: asset freezes and travel bans on designated individuals and entities now run until November 14, 2027, and the mandate of the Panel of Experts on Yemen runs until December 15, 2027.
Drafted by the United Kingdom, the resolution adds a focus on dual-use components and precursor chemicals, which the Council says the Houthis use to build missiles and drones inside Yemen. The regime dates to resolution 2140 (2014); the targeted arms embargo on the Houthis has been open-ended since 2015 and was not part of this vote.
UK Ambassador Sarah MacIntosh said the consensus adoption showed the Council's determination to act against Houthi attacks in Yemen, against Saudi Arabia and across the region, and that the UK stands with Yemen's government and Saudi Arabia. The resolution also condemned Houthi maritime and cross-border attacks and threats to commercial vessels, and added individuals to the sanctions list. (Source: UN Security Council)
