New report to the UN General Assembly by the Special Rapporteur on the right to food, @michaelfakhri.bsky.social: "Corporate power and human rights in food systems" www.ohchr.org/en/documents...

Must-read: UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food @michaelfakhri.bsky.social calls out key companies driving corporate concentration in the food system and demands accountability for rights violations. digitallibrary.un.org/record/40872... @fian-international.bsky.social @etcgroup.bsky.social

AAUP President Todd Wolfson denounces planned academic cuts at the University of Oregon, laying out several concerns. @uauoregon.bsky.social 🧵

Did last month's #UNFSS conference focus too much on investment for food, and not enough on rights and accountability? Read our co-Director Jody Harris's take on the discussions @justjody23.bsky.social www.ids.ac.uk/opinions/acc...

By me: ‘No one should act surprised,’ says UN expert who first warned of starvation in Gaza in early 2024 @michaelfakhri.bsky.social, UN special rapporteur on the right to food, says: ‘Israel is starving Gaza. It’s genocide’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

New from @michaelfakhri.bsky.social ‘Israel has built the most efficient starvation machine you can imagine. So while it’s always shocking to see people being starved, no one should act surprised. All the information has been out in the open since early 2024.’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The deliberate starvation of Gaza was predicted 18 months ago by the top UN expert on the right to food. This is not unexpected, our political leaders knew this what they were backing @michaelfakhri.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2024/f...

Our political leaders cannot say they didn't know - @michaelfakhri.bsky.social first warned that Israel was orchestrating the deliberate starvation of Palestinians in January 2024 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

"What we're seeing now is the most horrific stage of Israels starvation campaign... Israel has been using aid as a way to bait civilians & has been killing civilians who have been seeking aid..." Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food

At a time when the world is unmoved in the face of the mass #starvation of #children in real time, @michaelfakhri.bsky.social's report on 'Starvation and the right to food, with an emphasis on the Palestinian people’s food sovereignty' has never been more relevant docs.un.org/en/A/79/171

The Security Council failed to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire on Wednesday because of one veto. It is time for the UN General Assembly to do the right thing and authorize peacekeepers to accompany humanitarian convoys.

As the Madleen approaches Gaza, all countries are responsible to ensure it has safe passage to end starvation and famine in Gaza. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social
