Origin
2026 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 6, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly is alarmed that, during the summer of 2026, Russia’s systematic attacks have effectively blocked safe and uninterrupted navigation in the Black Sea and severely disrupted maritime access to and from Ukrainian ports. In July alone, 67 attacks on port infrastructure, 35 on civilian vessels in ports and 22 on vessels navigating the Ukrainian Maritime Corridor were recorded. As around 80% of Ukraine’s exports of grain, oilseeds and related agricultural products pass through Black Sea ports, the continued blockade threatens not only Ukraine but global food security and international food supplies. The Assembly therefore calls for the earliest possible restoration of a safe, open and fully accessible Black Sea."
