*In honor of World Food Day 2011, the third issue of the Right to Food and
Nutrition Watch will be presented to the public.*

Published by a consortium of 16 civil society organizations, the Watch
provides experts’ articles as well as 15 national and regional reports on
the right to food and nutrition accountability spanning four continents.

The 2011 edition identifies accountability as the most immediate challenge
in the fight against hunger. Despite the growth of a worldwide right to food
movement and the existence of international frameworks and mechanisms to
protect human rights, an unacceptable number of violations are still
perpetrated with impunity.

FIAN International, one of the publishers of this report, and a key
organization in the fight for the right to food will mark its 25th
anniversary at the press conference. For more information, please consult
the anniversary booklet at:
http://www.fian.org/resources/documents/others/fian-25-years-supporting-the-struggle-for-the-human-right-to-adequate-food

The speakers will use both French and English.
