英国在安理会声援海湾伙伴：要求伊朗停止袭击、重开霍尔木兹海峡，也门已有34万多人流离失所
英国常驻联合国代表 Sarah MacIntosh 11月13日在联合国安理会中东问题会议上发表声明说，英国与海湾伙伴站在一起，将继续提供实际支持以加强其防御与安全，并要求伊朗停止2026年以来针对平民区、关键基础设施与重要经济资产的反复袭击、重开霍尔木兹海峡；同日，英国外交、联邦与发展事务部发布了面向在特立尼达和多巴哥的英国国民的性侵受害者求助指引。
MacIntosh 说，安理会第2817号决议已发出明确信号：袭击必须停止，航行权利与自由必须得到尊重。她说，霍尔木兹海峡必须重开，国际航运与海员必须能依照国际法与《联合国海洋法公约》安全通行；重要海上通道受阻的影响远超本地区，波及全球贸易、能源与粮食安全，最脆弱的人群承受最大代价。英国谴责伊朗的袭击与以全球经济为人质的做法，肯定包括卡塔尔在内的调解方为避免局势进一步升级、寻求恢复地区稳定的谈判解决所作的努力，并重申外交是实现可持续解决的唯一途径。
她还说，伊朗及其代理人、包括伊朗结盟团体近期在伊拉克的袭击，有引发地区冲突螺旋升级的风险，伊朗必须停止支持这类破坏稳定的活动。谈到也门，她说胡塞武装恢复冲突的决定给也门人民带来更多苦难，本已严重的人道危机进一步加深：新一轮战斗已使34万多人流离失所，胡塞武装对塔伊兹市的持续围困使食品价格上涨至少50%，医院燃料与药品耗尽。英国呼吁迅速、无阻碍的人道准入，让重要物资能送达也门各地需要帮助的人。
MacIntosh 对联合国工作人员 Mohammad al-Shami 在胡塞武装拘押期间死亡的消息表示震惊，呼应联合国秘书长关于立即、公正调查的要求；英国谴责胡塞武装继续拘押联合国、人道、民间社会与外交人员，要求立即无条件释放。英国还表示与沙特阿拉伯及国际公认的也门政府团结一致面对持续袭击，重申其依照国际法捍卫自身安全与主权的权利，并支持联合国推动由也门人主导、也门人拥有的包容性和平进程，胡塞武装必须立即停止进攻。她说，海湾稳定对本地区国家与人民以及国际和平与安全至关重要，英国将继续与伙伴合作追求这一目标。
英国外交、联邦与发展事务部同日发布的领事服务信息显示，在特立尼达和多巴哥的英国国民如遭遇强奸或性侵，可拨打当地紧急电话999求助，也可拨打英国驻特立尼达和多巴哥高级专员公署电话 +1 868 350 0444 联系领事人员，领事人员将以同理、非评判的态度提供当地警察与医疗程序的信息。当地各警局均设有受过专门训练处理此类案件的特别受害者小组，与刑事调查部门密切配合；指引还说明了报案与不报案两种情形下可获得的协助、医疗检查与法律程序，此类案件一般需3个月至1年进入审判。

UK Stands With Gulf Partners at Security Council: Demands End to Iranian Attacks and Reopening of Strait of Hormuz; 340,000 Displaced in Yemen
Ambassador Sarah MacIntosh, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, told the UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East on November 13 that the United Kingdom stands in solidarity with its Gulf partners and will continue to provide practical support to strengthen their defences and security, demanding an end to repeated Iranian attacks throughout 2026 on civilian areas, critical infrastructure and vital economic assets, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office published its information for British nationals in Trinidad and Tobago who are victims of rape and sexual assault.
MacIntosh said Resolution 2817 had sent a clear message from the Council that the attacks must stop and that navigational rights and freedoms must be respected. The Strait of Hormuz must be reopened, she said, so that international shipping and seafarers can transit safely and securely in accordance with international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea; disruption to vital maritime routes has consequences far beyond the region, including for global trade, energy and food security, and the most vulnerable are bearing the greatest cost. The United Kingdom condemns Iran's attacks and attempts to hold the global economy to ransom, commends the efforts of mediators including Qatar to avoid further escalation and seek a negotiated settlement that restores regional stability, and remains committed to diplomacy as the only route to a sustainable solution.
She said the actions of Iran and its proxies, including recent attacks by Iranian-aligned groups in Iraq, risk triggering a spiralling regional conflict, and that Iran must cease support for such destabilising activity. On Yemen, she said the Houthis' decision to resume conflict has brought more suffering to the Yemeni people and deepened an already grave humanitarian crisis: renewed fighting has displaced more than 340,000 people, and the Houthis' continued siege of the city of Taiz has driven food prices up by at least 50 percent and left hospitals running out of fuel and medicine. The United Kingdom called for rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access so that vital supplies can reach those in need throughout Yemen.
MacIntosh said the United Kingdom was appalled by news of the death of UN employee Mohammad al-Shami in Houthi detention and echoed the Secretary-General's call for an immediate and impartial investigation. The United Kingdom condemns the Houthis' continued detention of UN, humanitarian, civil society and diplomatic personnel and reiterates its call for their immediate and unconditional release. The United Kingdom also underlined its solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the internationally recognised Government of Yemen in the face of ongoing attacks, reaffirmed their right to defend their security and sovereignty in accordance with international law, and underlined its support for the UN's work towards a negotiated, inclusive, Yemeni-led and Yemeni-owned political settlement, saying the Houthis must stop their offensives with immediate effect. She said the stability of the Gulf is essential for the countries and people of the region and for international peace and security.
In consular information published the same day, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advised British nationals in Trinidad and Tobago who have been raped or sexually assaulted that they can call the local emergency services on 999, or contact consular staff at the British High Commission by calling +1 868 350 0444, where staff will be empathetic and non-judgmental and can provide information on local police and medical procedures. All police stations in Trinidad and Tobago have officers trained to handle rape and sexual assault cases, known as a Special Victims Unit, working closely with the Criminal Investigation Department. The guidance also sets out the help available whether or not a victim reports the incident to the police, what to expect from medical examination and legal proceedings, and notes that such cases can take three months to one year to come to trial.
