Our first agenda: “Aftereffects of the lasting Impact of Prolonged Warfare in Ukraine on Global Food Security, Energy Stability, and the present and future Credibility of International Security Guarantees”, deals with the continued consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war, a conflict entering its fourth year. Ukraine, once known as the “breadbasket of Europe”, is now in turmoil, and its fields which once fed over 400 million people (UN World Food Programme, 2025), are now nothing but ash. As a result, global wheat exports have significantly fallen, thereby fuelling food insecurity in regions where bread is a staple.

Our second agenda: “Addressing the Humanitarian Crisis and Threats to International Peace and Security Resulting from the Yemen Conflict through the Formation of an Independent Task Force Monitored by the UN”, demands action on a tragedy which has lasted for over a decade now. This conflict has been responsible for 377,00 deaths (Friends Committee on National Legislation, 2023) and 4.5 million Yemeni people (around 14% of the population) displaced from their homes (UNHCR, 2025). The Red Sea crisis which began in late 2023 threatens the 12% of global trade which passes through the Suez Canal.

As the Security Council engages with these issues of conflict head-on, it invites pioneers who are prepared to move beyond mere rhetoric and look at new approaches - negotiate binding task forces, reform international security and do all they can to safeguard a world which needs it more than ever.
