The Acting President
Before giving the floor for explanations of position after adoption, I would like to remind delegations that explanations of position are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Bratchyk
With regard to resolution 76/264, which we have just adopted, I would like to reiterate the position of the delegation of Ukraine on the issue of food security.
As a reliable contributor to global food security and one of the world’s main food suppliers, Ukraine
fully shares the commitment to acting with urgency, at scale and in concert to respond to the urgent food security and nutrition needs…
Mr. Chumakov
We would like to thank the group of countries that initiated resolution 76/264 for drafting the text. We welcome the fact that it is dedicated to the issue of ensuring global food security, which has traditionally been one of Russia’s priorities, and we are therefore pleased to join the consensus on this important document. However, we also have a number of comments.
We share the concern about t…
Mrs. Sandller
I want to thank the countries that promoted resolution 76/264 on the state of global food insecurity, which we have just adopted. This is an issue of particular relevance to Argentina. We understand that the current situation is creating even more pressing challenges that make it difficult for us to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2, on ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nut…
Mr. Segura Aragón
The issue of food security is a top priority for El Salvador. At the national level, we have undertaken various efforts to ensure the right to food and nutrition from early childhood and throughout people’s lives. El Salvador is committed to improving health conditions through such initiatives as the Grow Together programme, which fosters early childhood development by supporting breastfeeding, n…
Mrs. Kavaleuskaya
The Republic of Belarus shares the concerns of the States that co-sponsored resolution 76/264, with respect to the potential threat of global hunger. We also understand the reasons for introducing the resolution at this time, even though the issue of hunger was also very pertinent during the coronavirus pandemic. In that regard, we would like to highlight the following.
Unfortunately, the resolu…
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position on resolution 76/265.
We will now hear those delegations wishing to make statements after the adoption of the resolution.
I now give the floor to the representative of the European Union, in its capacity as observer.
Mr. Skoog
I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the European Union (EU) and its member States.
The mounting global food crisis requires our urgent, coordinated and unified action. Today we demonstrated that we can unite on the most crucial challenges of our time. The EU welcomes the adoption by consensus of resolution 76/264. To demonstrate their full support, our 27 member States co-sp…
Mr. Mills
On behalf of the United States Government, let me start by thanking Lebanon for the successful shepherding of resolution 76/264 to adoption by consensus. The United States remains actively engaged in the work of addressing global food insecurity through significant humanitarian and development assistance, and we strongly support the objectives of the resolution.
As others have mentioned, on 18 M…
Mr. Woodroffe
As others have done, I would like to start by congratulating Lebanon, and in particular the Permanent Representative of Lebanon, for her leadership on resolution 76/264 and on the critical issue of food security.
The United Kingdom welcomes the adoption of the resolution by consensus as a strong sign of the international community’s determination to address the urgency of the crisis now facing t…
Mr. Hauri
Switzerland sponsored and joined the consensus on resolution 76/264 on the state of global food insecurity, and we welcome its adoption. Since global food security is a major concern for Switzerland, even beyond today’s resolution, I would like to make the following additional remarks.
Today’s numerous conflicts, in particular the war in Ukraine, combined with other already existing crises, such…
Mr. Costa Filho
I would first and foremost like to express my deep appreciation to Lebanon for taking the leading role in this effort, for bringing us together and for keeping us honest throughout. It is developing countries that are the worst affected by the rise in global food insecurity, so it is only fitting that they should be the ones to bring resolution 76/264 forward in order to address our current chall…
Mr. Chindawongse
If climate change is considered to be fast approaching red-alert status and the Sustainable Development Goals are seen as fast requiring intensive care, then the current crisis in food security, if unaddressed, may ultimately require cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. The latest data should keep us awake at night. According to the World Food Programme (WFP), 811 million people are already hungry, an…
Mr. Ladeb
My delegation would like to thank all the States that supported resolution 76/264, and we welcome its adoption by consensus. Today we need that consensus, united efforts and renewed hope in the effectiveness of multilateral action, in addition to enhanced cooperation and solidarity. Today’s consensus reflects our joint recognition of the difficult situation the world is facing in the light of a f…
Mr. Mahmoud
At the outset, I would like to thank Ambassador Amal Mudallali, Permanent Representative of Lebanon, for her very constructive and leading role in coordinating the efforts of the core group and drafting resolution 76/264, which we just adopted by consensus. I would also like to express our appreciation to all the Member States that joined the list of sponsors of this important resolution. Egypt i…
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker on this item. May I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 26?
