1. “In the process of the follow-up and development of the resolution, we have carried out numerous measures at the national and international levels to enhance its implementation. We urge the international community and non-State actors to join in those collective efforts and to promote respect for international humanitarian law. We are aware of the need to redouble our joint efforts to combat this scourge, which affects millions of people throughout the world. We reiterate Spain’s commitment to and support for the actions of the Security Council.S/2021/250”

2. “In particular, Spain contributes to the work of the Committee on World Food Security, which in 2015 approved the Framework of Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Prolonged Crises. We are strong promoters of the development and implementation of resolution 2417 (2018) and condemn the use of hunger as a weapon of war, as set out in our penal code. Our humanitarian diplomacy strategy 2020-2026 specifically considers hunger and conflict as a primary aspect of humanitarian action and strengthens our commitment to resolving that problem. We promoted the adoption of resolution 2286 (2016), on medical personnel in armed conflicts, which, in protecting and promoting access to the population, contributes to improving the nutrition of people experiencing food insecurity in armed conflict.”

3. “In addition to the many regions in which food crises have been significant and have deepened, such as Yemen, we consider it vitally important to expand the focus to other places where hunger is leading to a sharp deterioration in the conditions facing the civilian population, including Syria and the countries of the Sahel area. We must emphasize our efforts to strengthen the triple nexus between humanitarian action, development and peace, all in accordance with the Agenda for Humanity, the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Spain actively supports the work of the World Food Programme, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Global Network against Food Crises and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to reduce and prevent food insecurity.”

4. “Spain considers this meeting of the Security Council very timely and aligns itself with the position of the European Union. I would also stress the need to find solutions to the growing humanitarian problem posed by hunger among the civilian population, which is sometimes an intentional effect of conflicts. The worrying increase in food insecurity worldwide, which has been aggravated by factors such as the spread of the coronavirus disease, the adverse effects of climate change and the intensification or prolongation of conflicts, as reflected in the “Global Report on Food Crises — 2020”, has highlighted the obligation to enhance and step up our humanitarian efforts in the most vulnerable communities.”
