Al Jazeera: UN Security Council approves arms embargo against Yemen’s Houthi rebels
Russia, which insisted that the embargo be extended to all parties involved in the conflict, abstained
The U.N. Security Council has approved an arms embargo on leaders of Yemen's Shia Houthi rebels and their key supporters, including former President Ali Abdullah Saleh's son. The vote Tuesday was 14-0, with Russia abstaining.
The measure is aimed at rolling back territorial gains that the Houthis have made in Yemen since September 2014, when they seized the capital, Sanaa. They have since advanced toward the southern port city of Aden, forcing President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee the country and leading a Saudi-led coalition of Sunni Arab states to launch airstrikes against the rebels.

For an organization called the 'United Nations' it seems to take sides rather often.
It's not the United Nations,
It's the United Nations Security Council, the Old Boys Club of WWII.
They always pick sides.
