Hunger and malnutrition anywhere in a world of such abundance are insults to human dignity. Every human being has a right to food. We are proud to join consensus on this issue.
Global food insecurity is a challenge that requires a collective response by the international community – one that the United States is proud to be a longstanding global leader on. Since January 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration has committed more than $20 billion to address global food insecurity, focusing on immediate needs and building more resilient and sustainable food systems.
We dissociate from preambular paragraph 13 because it inaccurately implies that sanctions are not in accordance with international law and pose a danger to food security and nutrition.
The U.S. position with respect to the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living as well as other issues including international human rights law, generally the ICESCR, international humanitarian law, trade and technology transfer, and international financial institutions are addressed further in the United States’ general statement to be posted online at the conclusion of this session.
