U.S. Embassy: UN inspection of ships in Yemen does not mean they are safe from U.S. sanctions

ADEN - SABA
The U.S. Embassy in Yemen has stated that the inspection of any vessel by the United Nations Verification and Inspection Mechanism in Yemen (UNVIM) does not mean that it is safe from U.S. sanctions, especially those ships, entities and individuals providing material support to the Houthis.

The embassy added in a statement published Tuesday on its website, "The UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism was established at the request of the Yemeni government to facilitate the entry of civilian commercial goods into ports outside government control."

The statement pointed out that the procedures set by the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism are for limited purposes to support the UN Security Council sanctions regime established under Resolution 2216 of 2015. Both are independent and should be distinguished from other national sanctions systems and their associated procedures.

The statement emphasized that the Houthi terrorist militias remain officially classified as a foreign terrorist organization and vessels that deliver or discharge refined fuel after April 4, 2025, may face severe sanctions, exposing those ships and their crews to the risk of Houthi attacks or hostage-taking.
