UN Human Rights Council Holds Special Session On World Food Crisis(1/2)



 大意
There are many starve people in the world.

 听写
 The United Nations estimates more than 850 million people worldwide are going hungry. And another 2 billion are suffering from malnutrition. The World Health Organization says malnutrition in children can cause lifelong health problems. The rights to adequate food and freedom from hunger are enshrined in international law. In calling for thise special session, the UN human rights council argued that the global food crisis is a massive violation of human rights. In opening the conference, UN high commissioner for human rights Louise Arbour told delegates the high prices and shortages of food were jeopardizing the well-being and rights of countless people. “In some regions, natural disasters or misguided policies or bothld compound already severe situations and render them catastrophic for the most discriminated and marginalized populations.” Arbour/ mentioned no country by name, but her thoughts reflect the recent catastrophic events in Burma, where the government has compounded the tragedy arising from Cyclone Nargis by not allowing enough foreign aid to reach the 2.5 million affected people.
