Legal brief for parliamentarians in Latin America and the Caribbean No. 2
2020Also available in:
Food and nutrition security and the right to adequate food are multidimensional and cross-sectoral in nature. Their realization cuts across economic, social, cultural, environmental and political life and is intrinsically linked to that of other human rights, such as the right to water, the right to property, access to land and other productive resources, the right to health, the right to decent work and fair pay, among others. A framework law provides a legislative structure that brings together under one governing law, different sectoral disciplines, as well as the legal grounds for organizing the multiple state actors responsible for securing the right to food. This document will address: i) an overview of the existing framework laws in the Latin American and Caribbean region, ii) analysis of the benefits of a framework law, iii) the necessary actions for the elaboration of a framework law, iv) general provisions of a framework law, v) and a checklist for parliamentary actions.
