President Julius Maada Bio is chairing a pivotal high-level debate at the United Nations Security Council, focusing on the urgent issue of conflict-related food insecurity and its impact on global peace and security.
The debate, themed “Threats to International Peace and Security: Conflict-Related Food Insecurity,” brings together world leaders to examine the complex relationship between conflict, hunger, and instability.
As President of the UN Security Council for November, President Bio is leading discussions on how conflicts disrupt food systems, displace populations, and heighten vulnerabilities in already fragile regions.
The meeting aims to emphasize the urgent need to prevent the use of starvation as a weapon of war, while exploring strategies to build resilience, restore agricultural systems, and hold violators of international humanitarian law accountable.
Under President Bio’s leadership, the debate seeks to drive coordinated global action to combat rising food insecurity in conflict-affected regions.
This debate marks a significant moment during Sierra Leone’s presidency of the UN Security Council, underscoring the country’s commitment to promoting peace, security, and sustainable development.
The international community is closely watching President Bio as he steers this crucial discussion, calling for collective action to address conflict-related food insecurity and foster global peace and stability.
