| Right to Food Principles and International Trade Agreements IGWG RTFG /INF 5 |
| Part of the debate in the Inter-Governmental Working Group (IGWG) for the Elaboration of Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the context of National Food Security has focused on the question of whether and how international factors influence or determine the progressive realization of the right to adequate food within national jurisdictions. This paper addresses only one aspect of the international environment namely international trade agreements. Its purpose is to discuss how these agreements influence policies governing agricultural production and trade food security and ultimately policies necessary for the realization of the right to adequate food. The paper is divided into four sections. Following this introduction Section II provides an overview of relevant international agreements and covenants and the concepts of right to food and food security. Section III the substantive part of the paper examines the main question posed in this paper namely how various international trade rules influence domestic policies in the area of agriculture and food security and thus have consequences for the realization of the right to adequate food. Section IV concludes the paper. |
