Origin
2024 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, after paragraph 2, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly is deeply concerned about the impact of armed conflicts on global food security, particularly the ongoing war against Ukraine, which has significantly disrupted the production and export of grain and agricultural products. Recognising Ukraine as one of the world's key suppliers of these commodities, the Assembly notes that millions of people worldwide are facing famine or severe food insecurity due to these disruptions. It underscores the need to de-weaponise matters of food security, as actions that negatively affect the production and supply of food create global risks."

Explanatory note

This amendment highlights the critical role of global food supply chains and underscores the need to prevent food security from being weaponised in armed conflicts, as millions are now facing famine due to disrupted supply chains.
