“…In general, the notion of a right to food -and indeed of a right to health -bears greatly upon how a state understands its responsibility to assume measures addressing food insecurity (60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68) . In general, such an approach empowers citizens and promotes their participation in the reform process; it charges not only the state but also other power holders with a (justiciable) responsibility for food security; and it establishes school meals as a well-being service -rather than a commercial one -with assertiveness and finality.…”

Public health nutrition sits at the nexus of a global crisis in food, environmental and health systems that has generated -along with numerous other problemsan urgent and changing problem of food insecurity. The 'new' food insecurity, however, is different from the old: it is bimodal, encompassing issues of both under-and over-consumption, hunger and obesity, quantity and quality; it has assumed a decidedly urban dimension; and it implicates rich and poor countries alike. The complexity of the expressions of this challenge requires new approaches to public health nutrition and food policy that privilege systemic, structural and environmental factors over individual and mechanistic ones. In this context, the current paper argues that school food systems rise with buoyant potential as promising intervention sites: they are poised to address both modes of the food security crisis; integrate systemic, structural and environmental with behavioural approaches; and comprise far-reaching, system-wide efforts that influence the wider functioning of the food system. Based on a discussion of Bogotá and other pioneering policies that explicitly aim to create a broader food system with longterm foundations for good public health and food security, the paper suggests a new research and action agenda that gives special attention to school food in urban contexts.

Community-based Approaches to Reforming Female Genital Operations in Africa: A Case Study From the Oromia Regional State of Ethiopia

In the past, numerous attempts by colonial governments and international agencies to abolish the practice of female genital cutting in Africa failed to make any significant impact on behaviour. In this article, we describe how, since 1996, an indigenous NGO has been attempting to reform the practice in the rural communities of Oromia (Ethiopia). We show that it has brought about enduring change by creating awareness about the health consequences of the practice, facilitating collective debate on the topic using participatory methods, and involving local elders in the decision to abandon it. We compare this approach to other successful African initiatives undertaken during the same period based on similar strategies. We argue that these programmes have been able to amend the practice by empowering the communities to direct their own process of change, based on their own traditions. We caution, however, that such interventions should not be made without a full understanding of the cultural meaning(s) of the practice, which should be seen in a holistic manner.

“…To promote human rights requires campaigns to alter attitudes and behaviour of people in lifestyle, nutrition, harmful traditional practices, etc., for example by human rights education, healthcare training, research, and dissemination of information. The obligation to fulfil requires states to take different appropriate positive measures in ensuring the full realisation of human rights (Marks 2005;Shue 1980). The HRBAD emphasises that the process of development is as important as the result achieved.…”

“…In the late twentieth century, the mutually reinforcing links between human rights and development were acknowledged, for the first time, in the idea of the right to development (Marks 2005;Uvin 2007). Since then, a growing number of development organisations and international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the UN have begun to reconcile human rights and development in the form of a "human rights-based approach to development" (HRBAD).…”

Applying the "human rights-based approach to development" (HRBAD) in practice is the biggest challenge facing advocates of human rights and development. This article seeks to bridge between. HRBAD at a theoretical level and the National Human Rights Action Plans (NHRAP) at a practical level in order to not merely provide a tool for putting HRBAD into practice but also to prepare a theoretical foundation for NHRAPs. To integrate HRBAD into NHRAPs, the whole conceptual space of development is mapped into a matrix called a "Substantive-Procedural Matrix of Development" (SPMD). This matrix helps states develop their plans within the road to development. The utility of this matrix as a heuristic will be demonstrated in the case of the right to health.La mise en pratique de l'« approche du développement fondée sur les droits de l'homme » (ADFDH) représente le plus important défi auquel se confrontent les défenseurs des droits de l'homme et du développement. Cet article cherche à traiter de l'ADFDH à un niveau théorique et les Plans d'action nationaux en matière de droits de l'homme (PANDH) à un niveau pratique afin de non seulement fournir un outil pour mettre l'ADFDH en pratique, mais aussi pour préparer une fondation théorique pour les PANDH. Pour intégrer l'ADFDH dans les PANDH, l'espace conceptuel du développement tout entier est cartographié sous forme de matrice appelée « Matrice de développement substantive-procédurale » (Substantive-Procedural Matrix of Development -SPMD). Cette matrice aide les États à élaborer leurs plans dans les limites de la voie vers le développement. L'utilité de cette matrice comme outil heuristique sera démontrée dans le cas du droit à la santé.El reto más grande a ser enfrentado por los partidarios de los derechos humanos y del desarrollo, tiene que ver con el impulso del enfoque basado en los derechos humanos del desarrollo (HRBAD). El presente artículo aborda el HRBAD a nivel teórico y los Planes Nacionales de Acción de Derechos Humanos (NHRAP) a nivel práctico, no solo con el fin de proveer herramientas que posibiliten la implementación del HRBAD, sino también de preparar el fundamento teórico de los NHRAP. A fin de integrar el HRBAD en los NHRAP, se mapeó el espacio conceptual en torno al desarrollo en la llamada "matriz de desarrollo sustantiva-procesal" (SPMD), un auxiliar que los Estados podrán aprovechar a la hora de elaborar sus planes en el marco de la ruta hacia el desarrollo. En este artículo, se examina la utilidad de dicha matriz como heurística para el caso del derecho a la salud.
