1. “From this, we can further see that peace and stability are prerequisites for food security as farmers can produce a stable food supply for the population. Cambodia supports the Security Council’s efforts, among other measures, to address conflict-driven food insecurity through a specific programme of action designed to assist countries in conflict. In this connection, Member States, relevant United Nations agencies and countries in conflict must work closely to mobilize resources to implement this programme of action. In conclusion, my delegation would like to express that Cambodia looks forward to the Food Systems Summit to be convened by the Secretary-General towards the end of 2021. We believe that its outcomes will also address the issues of conflict and food security.S/2021/250”

2. “In Cambodia’s history, our people went through food shortages and food insecurity over three decades during the civil war, which immensely impacted the health of our population, especially women and children. In this regard, Cambodia calls for an end to all ongoing conflicts through dialogue and peaceful resolutions with all involved parties to the conflicts. Through our win-win policy initiated in 1998 by Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, Cambodia has become a peaceful nation. Cambodia has enjoyed an average economic growth of 7 per cent per annum over the past two decades. The country has produced a surplus of more than 1 million tons of rice annually for export.”

3. “Owing to the nature of these issues, the effective implementation of relevant mandates of the Security Council and collaboration among Member States are necessary to put an end to the ongoing conflicts in different regions across the world. The concerned parties to conflict must allow the United Nations focal point and humanitarian assistance full access to the conflict zones to ensure that all civilians can receive unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance. More importantly, all parties to the conflicts must abide by the principles of human rights and international humanitarian law, including the 1949 Geneva Convention and resolution 2417 (2018), which explicitly addresses the link between conflict and hunger.”

4. “I wish to begin by congratulating Her Excellency Ambassador Linda Thomas- Greenfield on her appointment as Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations. I would also like to express my thanks to the Mission of the United States, in its capacity as President of the Security Council for the month of March, for organizing this high-level open debate on conflict and food security. Conflict directly influences food security. As such, conflict-stricken areas often do not have the ability to produce and supply food for the people. According to the World Food Programme, the ongoing conflicts in different parts of the world combined with the impacts of climate change and the coronavirus disease pandemic threatened to push around 270 million people to the brink of starvation in more than 50 countries by 2020.”
