This event reaffirms our commitment to international cooperation and processes that support the progressive realization of human rights within the United States and throughout the world. At the time of this event, the United States government should be undergoing its fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR), a process in which all United Nations Member States reflect on a country’s progress towards realizing human rights and have an opportunity to ask questions and make recommendations. The United States government withdrew from the UPR process in August, making it the first country to refuse to take part in this peer review. This event is being held to provide a space for advocates and organizations working within the U.S. and internationally to reflect on concerns and opportunities for advancing the right to food at this moment. We will review progress towards realizing the Right to Food in the United States and discuss priorities for next steps. Participants will have the opportunity to:
– Hear from members of the National Right to Food Community of Practice who have been engaging with the Universal Periodic Review process this year;
– Build connections and solidarity with others working to advance the right to food in the United States and internationally;
– Contribute to strategies for next steps towards realizing the right to food.
