3. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Fakhri, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“Three structural challenges are the debt crisis, a broken trade system, and rising corporate power. And governments have to work within those constraints to transform their food systems. In the last two years, there's been a global consensus that everyone must transform their system, and the food crisis is only getting worse.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Fakhri, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“What we need now is governments to come together, to work together, to commit to work together.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Fakhri, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“What we need is to transition our national food systems towards agroecology. Agroecology is the idea that we want to create food systems that mimic ecological processes as much as possible and that centers human rights and social justice throughout all the elements of the system. The way we treat people and the way we treat land are the same. Justice runs both in a relationship to the land and with people.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Balakrishnan Rajagopal, Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as a component of the Right to an Adequate Standard of Living and on the Right to Non-discrimination in this context, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“We need to consider the destruction of homes during conflict as a standalone crime in itself. And following the advocacy of many scholars, I actually call for it to be recognized as ‘domicide.’”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Balakrishnan Rajagopal, Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as a component of the Right to an Adequate Standard of Living and on the Right to Non-discrimination in this context, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“What I hope will happen with the recognition of mass destruction of housing rights that causes human suffering, which is what I'm referring to as ‘domicide,’ is that we are at that tipping point, that moment in global affairs, where because of the number and the proliferation of conflicts, and the disproportionately negative impacts that it has on housing, there is a need to recognize ‘domicide’ as a standalone crime. And I hope that that could be part of the process of renovating and rejuvenating human rights and international law to meet the challenges of our times.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Olivier De Schutter, Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“Many people in poverty are, in fact, unable to have access as they should, to housing, to education, to healthcare, to jobs, because of the discrimination they are subjected to. And this particular form of discrimination is the result of negative stereotypes about people in poverty, that I refer to as ‘povertyism.’”
14. Wide shot, press briefing room
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Olivier De Schutter, Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“Just like we condemn racism, sexism, homophobia, we should condemn ‘povertyism.’ ‘Povertyism’ refers to the negative attitudes and behaviors towards people in poverty. It restricts access of people in poverty to employment, housing, healthcare, education, social protection, the very tools that are meant to support them out of poverty.”
16. Wide shot, press briefing room
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Olivier De Schutter, Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“The Member States should legislate against ‘povertyism,’ adapt their anti-discrimination frameworks to include the prohibition to discriminate on grounds of socio-economic condition, poverty, social precarity.”

STORYLINE:
Briefing journalists today (28 Oct) in New York, Michael Fakhri, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, said, “in the last two years, there's been a global consensus that everyone must transform their system, and the food crisis is only getting worse.”
He explained, “Three structural challenges are the debt crisis, a broken trade system, and rising corporate power. And governments have to work within those constraints to transform their food systems.”
The Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food stressed, “What we need now is governments to come together, to work together, to commit to work together.”
He continued, “What we need is to transition our national food systems towards agroecology. Agroecology is the idea that we want to create food systems that mimic ecological processes as much as possible and that centers human rights and social justice throughout all the elements of the system.”
He concluded, “The way we treat people and the way we treat land are the same. Justice runs both in a relationship to the land and with people.”
Briefing journalists together with Fakhri, were Balakrishnan Rajagopal, Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as a component of the Right to an Adequate Standard of Living, and on the Right to Non-discrimination in this context, and Olivier De Schutter, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter.
Rajagopal said that the massive, arbitrary destruction of civilian housing in violent conflict should be recognized as a crime under international law.
Rajagopal referred to these acts as ‘domicide.’
The UN’s independent housing rights said,” we are at that tipping point, that moment in global affairs, where because of the number and the proliferation of conflicts, and the disproportionately negative impacts that it has on housing, there is a need to recognize ‘domicide’ as a standalone crime. And I hope that that could be part of the process of renovating and rejuvenating human rights and international law to meet the challenges of our times.”
Olivier De Schutter, described ‘povertyism’ as the negative attitudes and behaviours towards people living in poverty.
According to his new report, ‘povertyism’ is as pervasive, toxic, and harmful as racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination and should be treated as such, according to a new report published by the UN expert on poverty.
The Special Rapporteur called on governments to urgently review their anti-discrimination laws and consider ‘pro-poor’ affirmative action to ensure ‘povertyism’ is wiped out.
