In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly emphasises the critical importance of ensuring that armed conflicts do not impede global food security. It acknowledges that conflicts can significantly disrupt the production and export of grain and other agricultural products, leading to increased hunger and malnutrition worldwide. The Assembly underscores the necessity of de-weaponising matters of food security by ensuring free, full and safe navigation in international waters, restoring access to affected ports, and expanding the transportation of essential goods by sea. Initiatives aimed at facilitating the safe and continuous export of agricultural products from conflict-affected regions, such as the Black Sea Grain Initiative and Ukraine's humanitarian programme “Grain from Ukraine”, should be supported and implemented without undue delay or time limitations to mitigate global food insecurity.
