Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 17
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Latin America has shown itself to be the region of the world that has made the most progress in terms of developing legal frameworks that promote the right to food. With more than eight countries possessing specific laws aimed at promoting and protecting the right to food and a number of bills pending in National Assemblies for consideration, the right to adequate food is also referred to or explicitly recognized in several constitutions, including those of Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua and Paraguay. In some cases, the constitutional provisions refer directly to the right to food, and its applicability to the whole population. In other cases, the right is directed at specific groups, while State signatories of the Covenant provide that it be applied directly through the constitution. The following cases are examples of where the right to food has been used as a legal argument to protect social rights.
