THE RIGHT TO ADEQUATE NOURISHMENT IS INALIENABLE


VATICAN CITY, NOV 9, 2006 (VIS) - Made public today was a talk delivered on November 4 by Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, at the Rome headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

  In the course of the "Special Event" organized by the FAO at the end of the 23rd session of the intergovernmental committee for Food Security, Cardinal Martino indicated that "the right to have enough to eat is fundamental and inalienable for every person and for their family.

  "It is the task of nations, their leaders, their economic powers, and all people of good will," he added in his English-language address, "to seek every opportunity for a more equitable sharing of resources which are not lacking, and of consumer goods; for by this sharing, all will express a true solidarity rooted in a knowledge of and appreciation for the dignity of every human person."
