issue of the Right to Food and Nutrition Watch will be presented to the public.</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Published by a consortium of 16 civil society

regional reports on the right to food and nutrition accountability spanning
four continents. </span></p>

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.</span></p>
