United Nations Security Council Resolution 2722

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 2722 was voted on and adopted on 10 January 2024. The resolution by the 15-member United Nations Security Council stated that the Houthi movement in Yemen should immediately stop hostile actions and stop all attacks on merchant and commercial vessels. The resolution also called for Houthi to release control of the Galaxy Leader, a ship which the Houthis captured on 19 November 2023, as well as release the crew, which are being held hostage by Houthi.

This resolution occurred amid the Red Sea Crisis, which is a regional escalation of the Israel–Hamas war.
