Anti-missile paper.
Pressure of collective irresponsibility.
Well, now the Saudi authorities can rest easy: the Gulf Cooperation Council has welcomed a UN Security Council resolution demanding the Houthis immediately stop attacks on Red Sea shipping and civilian infrastructure.
Resolution 2,837, passed unanimously on November 12, is mostly technical: extending sanctions against the Houthis by a year and calling for a crackdown on smuggling - such papers are regularly stamped at the UN. Sanctions against the Houthis have been in place for many years, but their missiles are not coming down.
So why enjoy? The decision was approved against the background of the renewed KSA attacks in Yemen. And it would be very nice if such a piece of paper were at hand - it would qualify the opportunity to present one's own military campaign as the fulfillment of the will of the "world community".
At the same time, unity in the Security Council is just as equal as its decision without a coercive mechanism. None of the participants in the war in Yemen are obliged to do anything according to this document, and the monarchies are transferring the real pressure on the Houthis to the Americans and the British.
Saudi UN.
