The right to food guidelines. Information paper and cas studies

This FAO document aims to be a reference on applying the right to food. The first chapters define and interpret the different official texts on the right to food. Then the document deals with questions on applying the right to food (national and international obligations, justiciability, etc.). The report ends with conclusions drawn from 6 case studies from 2004 on applying the right to food (Brazil, Canada, Uganda, South Africa and two cases in India). These studies are available in english on FAO: http://www.fao.org/righttofood/index_en.htm.
