In a Friday statement, the 15-member council expressed "concern over reports of interference in the transition by individuals in Yemen representing the former regime."
The statement came after Yemen’s interim President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi announced that a national dialogue will kick off on March 18 after being delayed numerous times due to disputes among the country’s political parties.
The UN council also praised Hadi’s announcement, commending "those that have engaged constructively in the preparatory stages of the process."
The council reiterated its "readiness to consider further measures, including under Article 41 of the UN Charter, if actions aimed at undermining the Government of National Unity and the political transition continue."
Yemen was rocked in 2011 by a popular uprising that drove Saleh out of office after decades in power. More than two years into the revolution, the political future of the country remains uncertain.
Analysts believe the uncertainty is the result of the divisions among the nation’s political leaders and parties.
People have time and again slammed the government for its failure to deal with those involved in the violence against revolutionaries.
Hadi became the interim president of the country in February 2012 in an election in which he was the sole candidate. The vote was supported by the US.
