Origin
2024 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 2.5, insert the following paragraph:

"just as in the 1930s, the Russian Federation is once again using food as a weapon, not only against Ukraine but also to exacerbate global food insecurity. By blockading and threatening ships in the Black Sea, the Russian Federation has weaponised trade and disrupted grain shipments to Africa and other regions. Ukrainian farmers face severe shortages of resources, while Russian forces have deliberately bombed farmland, mined fields, and destroyed vital agricultural infrastructure. The Kakhovka Dam disaster alone caused US $387.71 million in damage, cutting off irrigation to nearly 600 000 hectares of farmland."
