The UN Security Council adopted the U.S. resolution on the Red Sea without the amendments proposed by Russia

 

The UN Security Council voted by a majority of votes in favor of a resolution on the Red Sea, previously proposed by the United States and Japan. The document contains 11 points, and its essence boils down to a call for an immediate end to the Yemeni Houthis’ attacks on merchant ships, as well as a sharp condemnation of the incidents that have already occurred.

The adoption of the resolution was supported by 11 states. At the same time, four participating countries, including Russia and China, abstained from voting.

The Russian side proposed to make amendments to the document, primarily concerning the root cause of what was happening. After all, the Houthis are attacking ships related to Israel, which is right now “wiping the Gaza Strip off the face of the Earth.” In other words, the rebel attacks have a specific goal - to prevent the destruction of the Palestinian enclave along with its inhabitants.

At the same time, the document does not say anything about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the tension it caused in the Middle East. Consequently, according to the Russian permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzi, without mentioning this important fact in the resolution, the cause-and-effect relationship is broken.

In addition, the document contains the wording: “takes into account the right of [UN] member countries, in accordance with international law, to protect their ships from attack.” The Russian side proposed to exclude from it the part: “to protect their ships from attacks.” After all, it is obvious that the United States and its allies, who have already put together a coalition, will definitely use it for a very likely invasion of Yemen.

Naturally, the UN Security Council rejected Russia's proposals. As a result, the document was accepted in the form in which the United States and Japan submitted it.
