"Saludamos la nueva propuesta de la Presidencia para el artículo 1.9, que aclara conceptos muy importantes del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos al definir tanto el derecho a un recurso como su reparación. Sin embargo, la Presidencia omite hacer referencia en los artículos 1.9 y 1.9 bis a las violaciones, junto con los abusos contra los derechos humanos. Exigimos el uso coherente y consistente del término «violación» a lo largo de todo el tratado. Del mismo modo, solicitamos que se elimine, en el artículo 1.9 bis, la expresión «si las circunstancias así lo requieren», ya que el cese de las violaciones de los derechos humanos y la concesión de garantías adecuadas de no repetición deben ser obligaciones incondicionales y no medidas supeditadas a circunstancias particulares. Este punto es de gran importancia para nuestros pueblos y territorios y, en particular, para las comunidades pesqueras."

Through conversations, testimonies, and reflections, this edition brings together voices confronting violence, displacement, hunger, and ecological destruction, while showing the power of solidarity, resistance, and collective action.

La alimentación es un derecho humano. La dignidad humana debe ser una prioridad.
En su primer informe ante la Asamblea General de la ONU, Sofía Monsalve Suárez, Relatora Especial de la ONU sobre el Derecho a la Alimentación, presentó una hoja de ruta para transformar los sistemas alimentarios y enfrentar las causas estructurales del hambre.
Su mandato comienza en un momento crítico.
Los conflictos armados, los efectos de El Niño, los recortes a la asistencia humanitaria y la inestabilidad económica mundial agravan la crisis alimentaria y dejan a millones de personas en situación de vulnerabilidad.

El informe advierte sobre el uso del hambre como arma de guerra, los ataques contra el suministro de alimentos y las infraestructuras esenciales, y las presiones económicas derivadas de los aranceles, las sanciones y la deuda. También señala que el aumento del gasto militar desvía recursos necesarios para garantizar el derecho a la alimentación.
A esto se suma un modelo agroindustrial y extractivista que convierte la naturaleza en mercancía, concentra el poder en grandes empresas y profundiza las crisis ambientales y sociales. Mientras tanto, el trabajo de cuidado que realizan las mujeres sigue sin recibir el reconocimiento que merece.

¿Qué cambios propone el informe?

Avanzar hacia la soberanía alimentaria, fortalecer la agroecología y los sistemas alimentarios territoriales, garantizar la justicia de género, exigir responsabilidad a las empresas y asegurar la participación efectiva de las comunidades en las decisiones que afectan su alimentación.
También alerta sobre los riesgos de la inteligencia artificial y las tecnologías digitales cuando profundizan las desigualdades y concentran el control sobre los alimentos y los conocimientos agrícolas.
Monsalve Suárez hizo un llamado a los Estados para que concentren sus esfuerzos en poner fin a las guerras, las ocupaciones ilegales y los conflictos. La paz es fundamental para prevenir las hambrunas, el hambre y la malnutrición, y garantizar que todas las personas puedan acceder a una alimentación adecuada.
No basta con atender las consecuencias del hambre. Hay que transformar las estructuras que la producen y perpetúan. by @fianinternational

@agrowingculture is a global media organization and this is their most recent coverage on the "Four Betters?" report we published in time for the Small Scale Fisheries Summit and the 37th Session of the FAO's Committee on Fisheries (COFI). The report was endorsed by @nyeleniforum @wamip.global @worldmarchofwomen @la_via_campesina_official @treaty_council @globalphm and supported by @etc_group_ @wearefoodrise @foe_int @transnationalinstitute @fianinternational and @icsf.1.

#repost @agrowingculture: Industrial aquaculture harms are increasing by the year.

But despite this fact, FAO’s Blue Transformation Programme incentivises the expansion and intensification of industrial aquaculture. For grassroots movements, the programme is only serving as a corporate blueprint.

🐟We do not need a Blue Transformation that makes corporations stronger and fishing communities weaker. A real transformation begins with fishers’ rights, their territories intact and food sovereignty. Fish should nourish communities before they nourish corporate supply chains.

@world_forum_of_fisher_peoples newest report reveals the dark threats of industrial aquaculture and the many ways communities are working to protect their territories and livelihoods. Read the full report at their link in bio or at fish4foodsovereignty.org and share it widely.

We are grateful to marine biologist, photographer and storyteller Sirachai Arunrugstichai (@shinalodon) for sharing his photos of unique fishing traditions from communities across Asia, the living cultures that embody the ecological relationships between man and biodiversity that are constantly under threat by Industrial Aquaculture. by @fianinternational

✊ **One step closer to ending corporate impunity!**
(link in linktree)

🌍 The 12th round of UN negotiations for a legally binding treaty on transnational corporations and human rights has concluded in Geneva, laying the groundwork for further progress in 2027.

After a week of intense discussions, States unanimously approved the Chair-Rapporteur’s concluding recommendations, paving the way for a new treaty draft, three thematic consultations and the 13th negotiating session in October 2027.

⚖️ **A major development:** The proposal for an international tribunal on transnational corporations and human rights gained momentum, with support from Cuba and Palestine and growing interest from other States.

Throughout the negotiations, the Global Campaign to Reclaim Peoples’ Sovereignty, Dismantle Corporate Power and Stop Impunity delivered more than 40 interventions, bringing the voices of affected communities and concrete legal proposals into the discussions.

💬 “This tribunal would be a checkmate on corporate impunity. It would deliver real access to justice for the communities whose lives, lands and livelihoods have been destroyed because of transnational corporations.”

— Juliette Renaud, Friends of the Earth France

Despite growing pressure for corporate deregulation, social movements and civil society remain determined to secure a strong, binding treaty that puts **human rights before corporate profits.**
