According to Al Jazeera, UK Ambassador to the UN Sarah MacIntosh stated following the Security Council's extension of sanctions on Yemen that the UK hopes to agree with Security Council members in the coming months on a dual-use item list incorporating sanctions measures. This is aimed at tightening restrictions on components and precursor chemicals used by the Houthis for weapons production. This move still requires consensus among members on the list and does not mean a new item list has already entered into force.
