UN: Little progress in fighting hunger

New York: Navy Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed Monday the failure of the efforts to mitigate hunger with concrete actions in the benefit of the most affected people in the whole world.

According to versions circulated in the UN, the South African official told a panel at the Human Rights Council in Geneva that the measures have not had an impact on those suffering hunger, UN Ombudsman on the Right to Food Olivier De Schutter also participated in the panel, and said that it is necessary to adopt measures to give a response to the crisis. De Schutter said it is necessary to make a census of the most vulnerable hunger zones in the world to promote programs there on the base of solidarity, the right to the land and sustainability.
