UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths demanded putting an end to the war in Yemen without hesitation, while stressing the significance of the UN-facilitated political process.
Griffiths, who gave his final conference in that post to the Security Council, stated: "let us, for the sake of Yemen, end this war without delay so that we can begin the real and final battle, the battle for peace."
He further said: "Yemen needs a pluralistic political future, and the UN-facilitated political process must pave the way for them to achieve just that."
The special envoy noted: "we know very well what the people want. It is precisely what this Council wants: stability based on rights and freedoms. Yemen needs, for its survival and the welfare of its citizens, a government that is accountable to its people and united in support of fundamental rights, and an open and prosperous economy."
