Ms. Shea (United States of America)
In January 2024, the Security Council adopted resolution 2722 (2024), which underscored the importance of the exercise of navigational rights and freedoms of vessels of all States in the Red Sea and unequivocally demanded the Houthis immediately cease their attacks on merchant and commercial vessels. The Houthis have not heeded that resolution and in recent months have launched additional complex…
Mr. Sekeris (Greece)
Greece joins the United States as co-penholder for this important Security Council resolution (resolution 2768 (2025)) with a strong sense of responsibility and the belief that through collective engagement with all Member States, the Security Council can raise a unified voice for stability in Yemen and the Red Sea region. We extend our sincere gratitude to outgoing co-penholder Japan for the se…
Mr. Yusuf (Somalia)
As a nation deeply invested in the security and stability of the Red Sea region, we voted in favour of the resolution just adopted (resolution 2768 (2025)). Today’s vote reflects our deep commitment to maritime security in Red Sea waters, which are vital to our region and to global commerce and stability. As one of the Member States responsible for maintaining maritime security, we understand th…
Mr. Nebenzia (Russian Federation)
The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on the resolution prepared by our Greek and American colleagues on the situation in the Red Sea (resolution 2768 (2025)). Let me start by saying that this document is the logical extension of the original resolution 2722 (2024), about which we had serious questions. The idea underpinning it — ensuring the safety of navigation in the waters off Yemen,…
Mr. Alfaro de Alba (Panama)
I would like to thank the Permanent Missions of the United States and Greece for presenting the resolution that we adopted today (resolution 2768 (2025)). We reiterate a message that we sent during the deliberations on the situation in Yemen this morning (see S/PV.9835): as a maritime nation, we strongly reject attacks that imperil international maritime security and hamper the transit of vessels…
Ms. Lassen (Denmark)
Denmark voted in favour of this resolution (resolution 2768 (2025)), and we welcome its adoption. We commend the penholders, the United States and Greece, for their efforts and for their open and constructive approach throughout the negotiations. Today’s resolution will ensure that Security Council continues to receive regular reporting on Houthi attacks on merchant and commercial vessels in the…
Mr. Kanu (Sierra Leone)
Sierra Leone thanks the co-penholders on resolution 2768 (2025), Greece and the United States, for their efforts on a critical issue with Sierra Leone stated previously, in January 2024 (see S/PV.9527), and we reiterate today our belief that the Security Council should pronounce itself with a unified voice to protect maritime security, navigational rights and the freedom of all vessels of Member…
Mrs. Rodrigues-Birkett (Guyana)
Guyana voted in favour of the resolution renewing the reporting request for the Secretary-General to provide monthly reports on Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea until 15 July 2025 (resolution 2768 (2025)). We thank the United States and Greece for their efforts. Guyana believes that the reporting mandate created by resolution 2722 (2024) is an important contribution to maritime security …
Mr. Sangjin Kim (Republic of Korea)
The Republic of Korea voted in favour of this resolution (resolution 2768 (2025). First, I would like to express our gratitude to the co-penholders — the United States and Greece — for their efforts in preparing the resolution and facilitating cooperative engagement with Council members. The Republic of Korea also appreciates the constructive efforts made by the co-penholders to reflect the esca…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Algeria. The vote in abstention cast by Algeria today is consistent with our previous votes last year on resolution 2722 (2024) and 2739 (2024). My delegation’s decision to abstain on this resolution (resolution 2768 (2025)) should not be interpreted as a reservation regarding the Secretary-General’s monthly reporting on the si…
