Reblog: Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food Takes Stock of the FAO

I was fascinated by this blog post by the blog “Food Governance“, which refers to and summarizes the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food’s report on his mission to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

Olivier de Schutter is an independent scholar that was appointed to assess the way countries and UN organizations protect the right to food, a human right that stems from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

I knew he pays visits to countries and publishes thematic reports, but I was unaware of the fact that he could also look into UN organizations themselves.

Bonus: Olivier de Schutter also has a website where all his activities are showcased and (really interesting) reports are published!
