Bill > SRes669

This Resolution condemns the use of hunger as a weapon of war, which includes starving civilians, destroying or removing essential food production and distribution resources like farmland and markets, denying humanitarian aid, and disrupting market systems. It acknowledges that conflict significantly worsens global food insecurity and can lead to famine, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. The Resolution calls on the United States Government to actively condemn and address instances where hunger is used as a weapon, ensure humanitarian aid can reach those in need without obstruction, integrate conflict considerations into food security strategies, and utilize existing tools, such as the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, to hold accountable those responsible for using hunger as a weapon of war, while emphasizing that this resolution does not authorize the use of military force.
