Preliminary study of the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee on discrimination in the context of the right to food [1]

In its resolution 10/12, the Human Rights Council requested the Advisory Committee to undertake a study on discrimination in the context of the right to food, including identification of good practices of anti-discriminatory policies and strategies, and
to report on it to the thirteenth session of the Council. The present study on discrimination in the context of the right to food has three main parts. The first part will present examples of discrimination in the context of the right to food, including discrimination in terms of legislation, inequalities between regions and discrimination against the most marginalized and vulnerable groups. The second part will focus on anti-discriminatory policies and strategies, which are or could be pursued in order to address discrimination. The last part addresses good practices that are currently being
implemented by States and other actors to address discrimination and inequalities.
