"Yemen's peace will only come through diplomatic negotiations," the special envoy told a press conference held in the Swiss Capital of Bern, adding that the focus in the next few days will be on getting a renewed and sustained ceasefire.

According to the special envoy, the parties came together to develop a framework for detailed³ peace negotiations based firmly on Resolution 2216 and other relevant UN Security Council resolutions, in order to reach an end of the war and return to a peaceful, political transition.

Peace talks on Yemen end without major agreement

The parties also made serious progress through identifying a framework for negotiations towards a comprehensive settlement, in addition to defining a set of relevant confidence-building measures relating to prisoner release, improved social services and improving the flow of humanitarian⁴ aid to Taizz and other Yemeni governorates, he said.

The special envoy said that under the agreement by the parties, all detainees and prisoners will be released once a permanent ceasefire is in place.

At the same time, the participating delegations⁵ further agreed to continue the work of the Coordination⁶ and De-escalation Committee set up during this round of the talks and identify a suitable location for it in the region. The Committee will be consist of military advisors⁷ from both sides and facilitated by the United Nations.

The special envoy expressed his gratitude⁸ to all parties for their presence, and constructive⁹ participation¹⁰ engagement in the UN-facilitated peace talks.

He also expressed his appreciation¹¹ to the participants for their commitment to a cessation of hostilities¹², which was announced with the start of the talks.

Unfortunately, the UN official added, there were numerous violations¹³ of the cessation of hostilities, which "affected¹⁴ the progress of the talks."

Given the centrality of the cessation of hostilities to the success of talks, the special envoy said he has elected to adjourn¹⁵ the talks until the middle of January next year.

In order to ensure adherence¹⁶ to the cessation of hostilities and enable sustainability, the special envoy stressed that additional bilateral¹⁷ consultations¹⁸ will be required in Yemen and in the region in the coming weeks.

"I will continue to work with the parties to identify and implement¹⁹ confidence-building measures that will help build respect for a durable²⁰ ceasefire and peace process," he noted²¹.

The consultations involve 24 Yemeni representatives and advisors in view of implementing²² a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, improving the humanitarian situation and returning to a peaceful and orderly political transition.

UN agencies estimate that 82 percent of the Yemeni population are currently in need of some form of humanitarian aid.
