Human Rights Responses to Land Grabbing: a Right to Food perspective
Third World Quarterly, 2013Co-Authors: Christophe Golay, Irene BiglinoAbstract:AbstractThis article approaches the debate on ‘contemporary land grabbing’ from a human Rights perspective, focusing on one Right that is particularly threatened: the Right to Food. It sketches an analytical framework grounded in international human Rights law and the contribution such a framework can bring to the land-grabbing debate. Following a brief historical background on the Right to Food and its articulation in international human Rights law, the paper expands on this by focusing on what can be called human Rights responses to land grabbing from a Right to Food standpoint. The analysis considers the contributions of different actors in the human Rights sphere and examines the role of the UN Committee on World Food Security and its recently adopted Voluntary Guidelines on the responsible governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests. It also investigates how the phenomenon has been addressed by the UN human Rights mechanisms, drawing on relevant practice of the UN treaty bodies and the Human ...

The Definition of the Right to Food in International Law
The Fight for the Right to Food, 2011Co-Authors: Jean Ziegler, Christophe Golay, Claire Mahon, Sally-anne WayAbstract:All human beings have a Right to live in dignity, free from hunger. The Right to Food is a human Right. It is a Right protected under international human Rights and international humanitarian law. We have adopted the following definition in all our work: The Right to Food is the Right to have regular, permanent and unrestricted access, either directly or by means of financial purchases, to quantitatively and qualitatively adequate and sufficient Food corresponding to the cultural traditions of the people to which the consumer belongs, and which ensures a physical and mental, individual and collective, fulfilling and dignified life free of fear.

The Right to Food in an Era of Globalization
The Fight for the Right to Food, 2011Co-Authors: Jean Ziegler, Christophe Golay, Claire Mahon, Sally-anne WayAbstract:The primary obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the Right to Food of their people will always rest with national governments. However, in an age of globalization and increasing interconnectedness, with the gradual emergence of a single integrated world market and the progressive globalization of most commercial, economic and social relations between peoples, it is time to challenge the traditional territorial boundaries of human Rights. With the simultaneous emergence of international organizations and private transnational corporations that often have greater economic and financial power than many States, particularly in the South, it is also important to challenge the idea that human Rights are only about limiting arbitrary abuses of power by Governments against their citizens

bringing home the Right to Food in canada challenges and possibilities for achieving Food security
Public Health Nutrition, 2007Co-Authors: Karen Rideout, Graham Riches, Aleck Ostry, Don Buckingham, R MacraeAbstract:We offer a critique of Canada's approach to domestic Food security with respect to international agreements, justiciability and case law, the breakdown of the public safety net, the institutionalisation of charitable approaches to Food insecurity, and the need for 'joined-up' Food and nutrition policies. We examined Canada's commitments to the Right to Food, as well as Canadian policies, case law and social trends, in order to assess Canada's performance with respect to the human Right to Food. We found that while Canada has been a leader in signing international human Rights agreements, including those relating to the Right to Food, domestic action has lagged and Food insecurity increased. We provide recommendations for policy changes that could deal with complex issues of state accountability, social safety nets and vulnerable populations, and joined-up policy frameworks that could help realise the Right to adequate Food in Canada and other developed nations.
