On 26 February 2014, in view of the ongoing violence, terrorist activities and political, security, economic and humanitarian challenges in Yemen, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2140 (2014), where it reaffirmed its commitment to the unity, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Yemen, and established travel restrictions and asset freezes to designated persons and entities. On 14 April 2015, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2216 (2015) which imposed an arms embargo in relation to persons who engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen.
Derogations to the restrictive measures are possible as well as exemptions for humanitarian purposes.
