Summary

The present report establishes the relationship between the right to food and starvation prevention in a way that contributes both towards the common goal of ensuring that everyone has the power to determine what is adequate food for their community and to access that food. In the present report the Palestinian people’s food sovereignty is emphasized since the Palestinian liberation struggle exemplifies how starvation is a human rights issue.
