The International Food Security Treaty seeks to promote food
security by means of a universal treaty based upon four
essential principles. In keeping with obligations inherent in
the International Bill of Rights, each nation signatory to the
IFST commits itself to: 1) PROVIDE ACCESS TO A MINIMUM STANDARD
OF NUTRITION recognized by the United Nations to all people
within its borders unable to gain such access on their own; 2)
CONTRIBUTE TO A WORLD FOOD RESERVE AND RESOURCE CENTER as it is
able, to assist any nation needing emergency help to provide
such access; 3) ESTABLISH AND ENFORCE LAW prohibiting activities
denying or intending to deny the minimum standard of nutrition
to any person within its borders; and 4) SUPPORT UNITED NATIONS
FOOD SECURITY ENFORCEMENT actions in nations whose governments
are unable to enforce such law on their own, or who are found
unwilling to do so through formal United Nations investigations.
