1. “In that regard, we sincerely hope that the adoption of the draft resolution will contribute to improving coordination among all relevant stakeholders in support of the countries affected by the food security crisis. Today no one needs to go hungry. Doing nothing in the face of harm and hunger is not a sustainable option. We must take a strong and principled stand to protect vulnerable populations.”

2. “Generations can remain prisoners of that vicious circle. The Council’s unanimous adoption of resolution 2417 (2018) acknowledged the link between conflict and hunger and its impact on global peace and security. The resolution was conceived as an instrument to break the vicious circle of armed conflict and food insecurity. However, what we are missing is more efficient action aimed at conflict prevention and resolution, as well as ensuring accountability for the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, which is prohibited by international humanitarian law. Croatia supports General Assembly draft resolution A/76/L.55, on the state of global food insecurity.”

3. “The unprovoked war in Ukraine adds yet another dimension and has already resulted in serious global implications. Ukraine and the Russian Federation are both critical to global food systems. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has led to a dramatic surge in food, fertilizer and energy prices, with incalculable human consequences being felt most notably in societies that are already exhausted by conflict. As we continue to provide full support to Ukraine and Ukrainians, we must also consider the global impact of the war. In that regard, we welcome the preliminary recommendations of the Global Crisis Response Group on Food, Energy and Finance, established by the Secretary-General. Conflict and hunger are mutually reinforcing; food insecurity fuels conflict, and conflict exacerbates food insecurity.”

4. “Mr. Matušić (Croatia): I would like to thank the United States for organizing this open debate. I also thank the briefers for the information that they have provided today. It is important for the Security Council to keep this matter high on its agenda. Croatia is deeply concerned about the current state of global food security and of malnutrition. According to the World Food Programme, conflict, climate shocks, the economic consequences of the coronavirus disease pandemic and the spiralling cost of food and energy could drive at least 50 million people to the edge of famine this year. Conflict is the single-most important driver of hunger, with 60 per cent of the world’s hungry people living in areas affected by conflict and violence.”
