Access to land and the right to food 2010, para. 5
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The conclusions presented in the present report are based on civil society consultations held in Bamako from 8 to 10 December 2009, in Kuala Lumpur on 23 and 24 March 2010, and in Chennai, India, on 28 and 29 March 2010. They also result from the analysis of 117 cases sent to the Special Rapporteur by non governmental organizations following a public appeal made by the Special Rapporteur on 15 December 2009. The Special Rapporteur expresses his deep gratitude to the Governments that responded to a questionnaire sent on 4 March 2010, including Albania, Belarus, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Georgia, Germany, Guyana, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Malawi, Mexico, Montenegro, Norway, Oman, Peru, the Republic of Moldova, Saudi Arabia, the Syrian Arab Republic, Switzerland, Turkmenistan, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Uruguay. The Special Rapporteur also benefited from expert briefs prepared at his request. Finally, the report takes into account a lesson that can be drawn from the communications sent to Governments or non-governmental entities by the Special Rapporteur and his predecessor: during the period from 2003 to 2009, as an indication of the importance of the issue of land with respect to the right to food, 115 of the 183 communications sent by the mandate-holders concerned rights related to the use of land and the right to food.
