  1. In countries affected by armed conflict or foreign occupation, those could have a detrimental effect on agricultural production, food security and basic living needs. The GCC States therefore call on all parties to armed disputes and conflicts to respect international humanitarian law and to provide safe and unimpeded access for humanitarian workers to assist civilians.

  2. The Council is aware of the efforts made by the GCC States to provide humanitarian assistance in order to address urgent needs, including ensuring food security. In addition to the conflicts we are facing, we note that climate change exacerbates the food insecurity crisis. We therefore believe it is critical to coordinate our international efforts, boost climate action and enhance the resilience of Member States, especially developing countries. The GCC States call on the international community to redouble its efforts to resolve crises and conflicts on an equal footing. Armed conflicts, violations of international law, international humanitarian law and international human rights law, food insecurity and starvation policies targeting civilians are among the factors that lead to forced displacement.

  3. Taking General Assembly resolutions 46/182 and 58/114 into account, we emphasize the need to and importance of totally committing to the principles and provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, foremost among which is respecting the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of States, non-interference in their internal affairs and respect for good neighbourliness. In accordance with Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations, Member States must settle international disputes through peaceful means and refrain from the use or threat of use of force in international relations. Any move contrary to those principles must take place legally and officially through a clear mandate of the Security Council, in coordination with the States concerned.

  4. The GCC States call on all parties to armed conflicts to comply with their commitments pursuant to international humanitarian law with regard to the respect and protection of civilians; to commit to not target civilian objects and installations, including those necessary for the production and distribution of food, medicine and vaccines; to refrain from targeting, destroying or damaging any object necessary for the survival of civilians; and to respect and protect humanitarian personnel and shipments. The GCC States are concerned about the rising level of global humanitarian needs and the threat of famine to many civilians and communities worldwide.

  5. The resolution was submitted by the State of Kuwait, in partnership with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Sweden and Côte d’Ivoire, was adopted by consensus and has received wide international support.

  6. The GCC States believe that the continuation of those crises and conflicts would undermine the ability of the international community to face their repercussions for food security and the stability of States, not to mention their humanitarian impacts on States and peoples alike. The GCC States would also like to refer in that regard to resolution 2417 (2018), which highlighted the link between armed conflict and violence, on the one hand, and food insecurity and the risk of famine, on the other. It totally rejected practices that violate international humanitarian law, including the illegal prevention of aid and humanitarian material delivery while denying civilians access to life-saving materials.

  7. Mr. Al Rubkhi (Oman) (spoke in Arabic): I deliver this statement on behalf of the Member States of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), namely, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, the State of Kuwait, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and my country, the Sultanate of Oman, in the context of this debate on famine and conflict-induced global food insecurity. I would like to begin by thanking the friendly United States of America, President of the Security Council for this month, for inscribing this important issue on the Council’s agenda, stressing at the same time that the GCC States are following with great interest the developments of the situations on the regional and international arenas as well as the resultant multiple crises and conflicts.
