BAN CALLS ON YEMENIS TO ADVANCE TRANSITION, ENCOURAGES PARTNERS TO
INTENSIFY SUPPORTNew York, Sep 25 2013 3:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today called on all Yemenis to live up to their
responsibilities to advance the country's "historic" transition to
democracy, and encouraged international partners to step up their
engagement in support of this goal.

"Together, we can help the Yemeni people usher in a more stable,
democratic and prosperous future for their country – and set an
inspiring example for the world," Mr. Ban said in
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7129">remarks to a
ministerial meeting of the Friends of Yemen.

The Friends comprise nearly 40 organizations and countries that meet
regularly to discuss the political, economic, security and
humanitarian sectors in Yemen, which has been undergoing a democratic
transition, under the leadership of President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi
Mansour, who came to power in the February 2012 election.

As part of the transition process, a National Dialogue Conference was
launched in March. The Conference, with over 500 delegates
representing all major groups, has addressed subjects such as the
conflict in the North and the South, political and security reforms,
the state structure, governance, rights and freedoms, and transitional
justice.

It is expected to wrap up this month with agreement on a set of
principles that will guide the constitution-making process and pave
the way for general elections in 2014.

"The National Dialogue Conference has created a new dynamic of
inclusive politics," Mr. Ban told the meeting, noting in particular
the strong participation of youth, women and representatives of civil
society.

"I call on all Yemenis to live up to their responsibilities under the
transition agreement and contribute to a successful conclusion to the
National Dialogue Conference," he stated. "I am well aware that the
transition process is fragile. There are many challenges ahead. But I
am confident that the people of Yemen will persevere on a peaceful and
constructive path."

Mr. Ban added that today's meeting, which is being held on the margins
of the high-level debate of the General Assembly, shows that the
Yemeni people are not alone in their journey to a new future.

"I encourage all of the Friends of Yemen to intensify your engagement.
I especially ask you to increase support for life-saving activities
and recovery efforts in Yemen."

Despite recent advances, the country faces numerous challenges,
including terrorism, the legacy of past human rights violations, and a
grave humanitarian situation marked by food insecurity, lack of basic
services and child malnutrition.Sep 25 2013 3:00PM
