Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 54
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- If TNC activities are criminally justiciable and reasonable compensation is enforceable, the issue of extraterritoriality may not arise. However, in cases of indirect violations of the right to food, for instance by way of voluntary displacement or not being able to farm because of a lack of access to necessary resources such as water because of privatization, or seeds because of a monopoly by TNCs, human rights adjudication becomes vital. Consequently, such remedies should provide enforceable compensation and restitution. The remedies currently available for individuals whose economic, social and cultural rights are violated are somewhat limited. Considerable improvements in this regard are essential for cases involving violations of the right to food to be protected from violations committed by foreign and national actors.
