Assessing a decade of progress on the right to food 2013, para. 10
Paragraph
Paragraph text
These are not symbolic advances. Victims of violations are entitled to "adequate reparation, which may take the form of restitution, compensation, satisfaction or guarantees of non-repetition" (see E/C.12/1999/5, para. 32). The recognition of the right to food in domestic law empowers courts or other independent monitoring bodies to impose compliance with the obligations of the State to respect, to protect and to fulfil the right to food. Significant progress has been made in this regard in recent years.
