Access to justice and the right to food: the way forward 2015, para. 13
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- As outlined above, the right to food was once considered a controversial "positive" right, however recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift in terms of the global discourse on the right to food, with progress in jurisprudence and academic deliberations affirming that the right to food is justiciable. With the ratification of the Covenant, the right to food will have greater publicity, especially when NGOs and individuals start to use various remedies. The right to food is now a right than can be legitimately claimed. Complaint procedures remind governments of their responsibility to respect, protect and fulfil the right to adequate food. The Optional Protocol will be influential in ensuring the implementation of the right to food at the international and national level.
