Failing of the United Nations in Yemeni Conflict

Abstract

The paper seeks to ascertain the essential role that the United Nations (UN) has played in the Yemeni conflict. Through a comprehensive examination of the efforts made by UN envoys and the United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) related to the Yemeni Crisis, along with the accords they endorsed, one may determine the extent to which they have been put into practice on the ground. It is essential to examine the causes that have led to the lack of efficacy in the duties of the UN and the UNSCR. Furthermore, it provides practical concepts and suggestions to efficiently tackle the current circumstances. The statement claims that the UN's participation in the Yemeni conflict, despite its considerable influence, has been marked by general ineffectiveness. There are presumed underlying issues that have caused this vulnerability and impeded the implementation of the UNSCR.

The paper uses neorealist theory to clarify the crucial role of dominant nations in the crisis and how their participation, together with their regional alliances, impeded the efforts of the UN. Moreover, it adeptly applies the ideas of constructivism to discern potential solutions to the predicament. The paper employs a descriptive-analytical methodology to comprehensively investigate all instances in Yemen. The implementation of the majority of UNSC Resolutions (UNSCR) on the ground in Yemen has been greatly hampered by the competing interests of the great powers involved in the crisis. This reality seems to be the main hindrance that obstructed the implementation of the UNSCR and weakened the UN' authority in Yemen.
