1. “As the United Nations, we must respect, promote and defend the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence in the provision of humanitarian assistance and adhere to protocols that prohibit the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare or combat. Liberia firmly believes that through innovative partnerships and radical collaboration, we can begin to confront the challenges of famine and conflict-induced global food insecurity. Today’s debate is therefore a defining moment for us to take stock of where we are and what needs to be done to have a positive impact on our world.”

2. “We note that food insecurity is also a threat to national and international peace and security and therefore hope that today’s debate will keep the spotlight on famine and conflict-induced global food insecurity, and especially that it will strengthen radical collaboration to avert a looming humanitarian crisis. In that connection, the Government of Liberia, under the leadership of President Weah, strongly condemns the use of food as a weapon of war and support in its entirety the United States-led joint communiqué condemning such weaponization. Liberia further recognizes the significant role of the Black Sea Grain Initiative in preventing a humanitarian disaster, laments Russia’s termination of the agreement and calls on like-minded countries to say no to the use of food as a weapon.”

3. “At the outset, I would like to convey warm greetings to the Security Council from President George Manneh Weah of Liberia and his best wishes to the United States for its presidency of the Council for the month of August. I also join other delegations in commending you, Mr. President, for facilitating today’s high-level debate on famine and conflict-induced global food insecurity. We welcome today’s discussion, as Liberia is deeply concerned about the alarming rise in global food insecurity caused by armed conflict and climate extremes.”
