| The role of FAO and the intergovernmental process to develop voluntary guidelines for the right to adequate food |
| At the World Food Summit Five Years Later held in June 2002 States invited the Council of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to establish an intergovernmental working group (IGWG) to elaborate with the participation of stakeholders over a period of two years a set of voluntary guidelines to support states’ efforts to achieve the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security. The IGWG was established by the FAO Council on 29 October 2002. This paper will give an overview of FAO’s activities leading to the establishment of the IGWG and the rationale behind developing voluntary guidelines and the IGWG itself. |
