  1. “To prevent famine, we not only need to adopt an inclusive approach to policies and investments in food systems but also to act urgently to build peace. That is the responsibility not only of the Security Council but also of all the States Members of the United Nations. We stand ready to work closely with all those involved to promote the necessary and coherent global response to this tremendous challenge.”

  2. “Let us act now, before it is too late for too many, especially women and children. (spoke in Spanish) I would now like to say a few words in my national capacity. At the outset, I would like to thank the United States for having convened this very timely debate. As we have heard today, we are facing a critical test. Evidence has shown time and time again that armed conflicts, violence, economic crises and extreme climate events are undeniable drivers of food insecurity and threats to international peace. The Dominican Republic believes in multilateralism, concerted action and respect for international law. That is why we are here today. The Dominican Republic also believes in early intervention to mitigate the effects of conflict.”

  3. “That needs to be followed by decisive action to spare civilians from the scourge of conflict and hunger and to hold those driving it accountable. We also call on all parties to armed conflict to ensure full, safe, unimpeded humanitarian access to uphold international humanitarian law and to protect the lives and livelihoods of all civilians whoever they are, wherever they are. In addition, we welcome various international initiatives such as the Food and Agriculture Resilience Mission, which is a robust operational road map to avoid further spikes in prices, ensure market transparency, enable a robust and efficient solidarity mechanism and enhance sustainable production. The current rise in conflict-induced famine and widespread food insecurity is a man-made, unjustified and preventable tragedy.”

  4. “In September 2020, the Council received a report and briefing, triggered by resolution 2419 (2018), concerning food security risks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen, north-eastern Nigeria and South Sudan. We are deeply concerned that over the last 18 months, the United Nations has not issued any follow-up report despite worsening conditions. The Group of Friends called for an update on the September 2020 white note on food security risks and for a briefing of the Security Council by the Emergency Relief Coordinator, with clear information on where the risk of conflict-induced famine and widespread food insecurity is taking place. We need to know the root causes of the recent deterioration in the levels of hunger driven by conflict as well as who is blocking access and how in conflict settings.”

  5. “Indeed, 577,000 people are facing catastrophe-level starvation and death. With conflict and climate change already increasing the price of agricultural products and causing upheaval in global food-supply chains, and with the world’s most vulnerable economies recovering from the coronavirus disease, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine will exacerbate the already severe 2022 acute food insecurity and malnutrition forecasts, as highlighted in the recent report of the Secretary- General’s Global Crisis Response Group. We are deeply concerned that the report highlights the fact that food and oil price hikes are increasing the Group’s monthly operational costs by up to $71 million each month compared with 2019, effectively reducing its ability to respond to hunger crises around the world.”

  6. “The resolution underscored the imperative of the Security Council to address conflict-induced food insecurity, including famine. Resolution 2417 (2018) asks the Secretary-General to report to the Council when the risk of conflict-induced famine and widespread food insecurity is taking place. While the threat to international peace and security caused by conflict-induced hunger has dropped over the past year, the Council has not held an open debate on the topic since the United States presidency in March 2021. At that time, 139 million people were experiencing a food crisis. Today, according to the 2022 Global Report on Food Crises, that number has jumped to 193 million, of which around 40 million people are facing emergency level or worse conditions across 36 countries.”

  7. “Ms. Andújar (Dominican Republic): We are pleased to deliver this statement on behalf of the members of the Group of Friends of Action on Conflict and Hunger — Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Niger, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and my own country, the Dominican Republic. We would like to thank the United States for convening this meeting and our briefers for their presentations. As members of the Group of Friends of Action on Conflict and Hunger, we are committed to ensuring that the issue of conflict and hunger remains high on the Security Council’s agenda and beyond. In 2018, the Security Council showed clarity and solidarity by unanimously adopting resolution 2417 (2018).”
