The Right to Food

By admin on 11/2/2009 in Stuffed & Starved

Crooks and Liars have observed this typically dry press release from the United Nations. The short of it is that there was a vote on the right to food at the UN. In favour – 180 countries. Against: The United States.

Seriously. And in a related vote on the right to development, 177 countries voted for. Against: The United States. Abstaining: Canada, Israel.
