Beware UN Food Systems Summit Trojan Horse

Human Wrongs Watch

By Jomo Kwame Sundaram*

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jul 26 2021 (IPS)* – Undoubtedly, the world needs to reform existing food systems to better serve humanity and sustainable development. But the United Nations World Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) must be consistent with UN-led multilateralism.

Jomo Kwame Sundaram

For the first time ever, the World Economic Forum (WEF), a partnership of some of the world’s most powerful corporations, is partnering the UN in launching the Summit, now scheduled for September, with its ‘Pre-Summit’ beginning today.

Food insecurity is primarily due to inequalities and deprivations as victims lack the means to obtain the food they need.

The UN should not serve those who cynically use hunger, starvation and deprivation to advance private commercial interests.

Is It Time to Create a UN Political Body for Climate Change?

Human Wrongs Watch

By Thalif Deen*

UNITED NATIONS, Jul 26 2021 (IPS)* – As a wisecracking cynic once remarked: “The sun would never set on the British empire because God wouldn’t trust an Englishman in the dark“. Perhaps it was an uncharitable remark because most of the British colonies have long gone.

But when I quoted this witticism to a British journalist, he countered: “I am sure it was told by a Scotsman.“
