LEWIS G. BROWN II, Permanent Representative of Liberia to the United Nations, addresses the Security Council during an open debate on conflict-related food insecurity. Drawing on Liberiaâ€⠢s 14 years of civil war, Brown said Liberia speaks not as an observer of hunger but as a survivor, recalling food convoys turned back at checkpoints and markets destroyed as frontlines, and warning that when war traps food, war has already won.
