## Report on the Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Amendment Order, 2022
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes the "Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Amendment Order, 2022," as published in the Gazette of India. This amendment modifies the "Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Order, 2015" by adding new individuals to the list of those subject to sanctions. The key finding is the inclusion of three individuals - SALEH MESFER SALEH AL SHAER, MUHAMMAD ABD ALKARIM ALGHAMARI, and YUSUF ALMADANI - who are allegedly linked to the Houthi movement in Yemen, accused of actions threatening the peace, security, and stability of Yemen. This amendment is likely intended to strengthen the enforcement of sanctions against individuals contributing to the conflict in Yemen.
**2. Introduction:**
This report provides an informative overview of the "Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Amendment Order, 2022," based on the provided policy text. The purpose is to outline the amendment's key provisions, likely rationale, affected parties, and anticipated impact based solely on the available documentation.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This document is an amendment to the "Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Order, 2015."
* The core objective, inferred from the text, is to implement United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding sanctions related to the conflict in Yemen. This is achieved by updating the list of sanctioned individuals.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
This amendment likely aims to strengthen the original policy by addressing perceived gaps in the list of sanctioned individuals. The addition of new names suggests an ongoing effort to target individuals deemed responsible for activities that destabilize Yemen, particularly those associated with the Houthi movement. The inclusion of individuals accused of arms smuggling, misappropriation of assets, and orchestrating military efforts indicates a focus on disrupting the Houthis' operational capabilities and financial resources.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This amendment *specifically* adds the following individuals to the list established and maintained by the 2140 Committee:
* **SALEH MESFER SALEH AL SHAER (YEi.007):** Identified as a Major General and Judicial Custodian of properties and funds owned by Houthi opponents. He is accused of assisting the Houthis in acquiring smuggled arms and weapons and being directly involved in the widespread and unlawful appropriation of assets.
* **MUHAMMAD ABD ALKARIM ALGHAMARI (YEi.008):** Identified as a Major General and Houthi Chief of General Staff. He is accused of playing a leading role in orchestrating the Houthis military efforts threatening the peace, security and stability of Yemen.
* **YUSUF ALMADANI (YEi.009):** Identified as a Major General and Commander of the Houthis Fifth Military Region. He is accused of threatening the peace, security, and stability of Yemen and being assigned to the offensive targeting Marib.
The specific part of the original policy being changed is the "Schedule" under the heading "the List established and maintained by the 2140 Committee", and specifically, under the subheading "A Individuals". The *new* provision is the inclusion of the names, titles, and identifying information (DOB, POB, nationality, passport numbers, national identification numbers, address, and other information) about the three individuals as listed above.
The *effect* of this change is to subject these individuals to any sanctions or restrictions outlined in the original "Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Order, 2015." This likely includes asset freezes, travel bans, and other measures aimed at limiting their ability to contribute to the conflict in Yemen.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The direct target audience of this amendment is the individuals listed and entities that may be doing business with them. More broadly, this impacts businesses and financial institutions that operate or conduct transactions in Yemen or with Yemeni individuals, as they must now ensure compliance with these updated sanctions. This also affects government agencies responsible for enforcing sanctions and monitoring compliance.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible agency/bodies:** The Ministry of External Affairs is identified as the issuing authority.
* **Timelines or procedures:** The amendment comes into force on the date of its publication in the Official Gazette, January 28, 2022.
* The amendment relies on INTERPOL and the UN Security Council for information dissemination via Special Notices. This suggests international cooperation in implementing the sanctions.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcome *of these specific changes* is to restrict the activities and resources of the listed individuals, thereby hindering the Houthi movement's ability to pursue its objectives and potentially contributing to a resolution of the conflict in Yemen. By targeting key military leaders and individuals involved in arms procurement and asset management, the amendment aims to weaken the Houthis' operational capabilities and financial support network. The impact will depend on the effectiveness of the enforcement mechanisms and the extent to which these individuals are reliant on assets or activities within the reach of the sanctions.
**9. Conclusion:**
The "Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution on Yemen Amendment Order, 2022" represents an update to existing sanctions against individuals linked to the conflict in Yemen. The inclusion of SALEH MESFER SALEH AL SHAER, MUHAMMAD ABD ALKARIM ALGHAMARI, and YUSUF ALMADANI signifies a continued effort to target those deemed responsible for undermining the peace, security, and stability of Yemen. This amendment is significant as it reinforces the Indian government's commitment to implementing UN Security Council resolutions and potentially contributes to international efforts to resolve the conflict in Yemen.
