It is now more than a decade since the Right to Food Guidelines
were negotiated, agreed and adopted internationally by states. This
book provides a review of its objectives and the extent of success
of its implementation. The focus is on the first key guideline -
"Democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule of law" -
with an emphasis on civil society participation in global food
governance. The five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China
and South Africa) are presented as case studies: representing major
emerging economies, they blur the line between the Global North and
South, and exhibit different levels of human rights realisation.
The book first provides an overview of the right to adequate food,
accountability and democracy, and an introduction to the history of
the development of the right to adequate food and the Right to Food
Guidelines. It presents a historical synopsis of each of the BRICS
states' experiences with the right to adequate food and an analysis
of their related periodic reporting to the Committee on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights, as well as a specific assessment of
their progress in regard to the first guideline. The discussion
then focuses on the effectiveness of the Right to Food Guidelines
as both a policy-making and monitoring tool, based on the analysis
of the guidelines and the BRICS states.
