Право на питание и питье в международном праве

Abstract

Despite the significant achievements of the world society relating the fundamental rights to sufficient food, safe drink water and proper sanitary, this problem is still urgent in many countries of the world. As a matter of fact there isn`t still free access to sufficient food, safe drink water and proper sanitary in many countries. The problem is hard to solve because of the lack of resources in many regions. That`s why it is necessary to look for most effective means of defence of fundamental human rights such as the right to sufficient food, safe drink water and proper sanitary, to support international mechanisms providing the exercise of these fundamental rights and to create the new ones. The fundamental rights to sufficient food, safe drink water and proper sanitary are guaranteed by many international covenants and treaties, among them: The International Covenant on Political and Civil Rights, The Convention on the Rights of the Child, The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, The Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Woman (CEDAW), etc.
