Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 14
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Right to Food Guidelines have done much to raise awareness and increase recognition of the right to adequate food and nutrition as a human right. They have also been instrumental in promoting the importance of recognizing the right to food in national legal frameworks. Guideline 7, in particular, invites States to initiate constitutional or legislative review to facilitate the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security. States are also advised to envisage "administrative, quasi-judicial and judicial mechanisms to provide adequate, effective and prompt remedies accessible, in particular, to members of vulnerable groups".
