Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 5
Paragraph
Paragraph text
While some critics suggest that the voluntary nature of the Right to Food Guidelines limits their usefulness, they were adopted by member States of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) by consensus. States cannot therefore claim to be unaware of or refuse to comply with the guidelines. Over the years, in many formal settings, the Governments have reiterated their commitment to and support for the guidelines.
