Part One of the Report of the World Food Summit presents a summary of the proceedings of the Summit which took place from 13 to 17 November 1996 at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. It also includes the opening and closing statements and Message of His Holiness Pope John Paul II to the Summit; the Reservations and Interpretative Statements; and the statements by representatives attending the three Parallel Events which took place during the Summit. It further contains, as an Appendix, the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food Summit Plan of Action, adopted by the Summit at the outset of its proceedings on 13 November.
This Part Two of the Report contains the individual statements delivered by countries, intergovernmental organizations and caucuses of civil society organizations. Also included are special messages from Heads of State or Government as well as the written statements submitted in exercise of the Right of Reply under Rule 20 of the Rules of Procedure of the World Food Summit.
For ease of reference, two indexes are provided, one listing the statements in alphabetical order and the other in the order of delivery. All statements made in one of the five official languages of FAO are presented in that language. All others are presented in English. Statements are presented in the order in which they were delivered, except those in Arabic, which for technical reasons are to be found at the end the Report.
The statements were transcribed from tapes and were sent out to countries/organizations under cover of a Note Verbale for their review between 15 March and 31 July 1997. Corrections to the transcriptions received by the Secretariat by 31 August 1997 have been incorporated into the texts presented. Salutations and closing remarks of thanks have not been included for reasons of brevity.
