 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Senate that:

  • all sides to the conflict in Yemen should abide by international obligations to protect civilians, facilitate the delivery of humanitarian relief, respect cease-fires, and work toward a political settlement;
  • U.S.-supported Saudi military operations in Yemen should take all feasible precautions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and should increase prioritization of targeting of designated foreign terrorist organizations;
  • the Houthi-Saleh forces should cease indiscriminate shelling of areas inhabited by civilians and should allow free access by humanitarian relief organizations seeking to deliver aid to civilian populations; and
  • a reconstruction and stabilization plan should be developed alongside a negotiated political framework, with robust financing from the international community, including Gulf Cooperation Council countries that have pledged to fund Yemen's post-conflict reconstruction.
