A/HRC/30/55 argued that article 16 could be linked with other articles that refer to the right to health and inquired whether there was a need for separate articles. An NGO responded to that query by highlighting that it was appropriate to have an article on the right to safety and health at work, because peasants and other people working in rural areas worked in some of the most hazardous and dangerous work environments. 55. One delegation noted that article 17 should have more focused gendermainstreaming language. The delegate had concerns surrounding price-setting and its impact on States’ obligations. One NGO supported article 17, noting that the text should include as much as possible about nutrition and the right to a healthy diet. A number of participants asked for sources and clarification regarding the term “culturally acceptable food”. 56. A number of States raised concerns regarding the language of article 18, noting that the suggested text pertaining to markets could imply that the Human Rights Council was going beyond its mandate. Another delegation also raised concerns regarding the term “community-based commercialization system” and asked for more clarification regarding the text. Two delegations highlighted their support for article 18 and noted that it was important that the article stayed in the draft declaration because it was important for peasants and other people working in rural areas to be able to sell their produce at prices that allowed for an adequate standard of living. 57. Several NGOs, including representatives of peasants and other peoples working in rural areas, stressed the importance of articles 15-18. They highlighted that those were economic, social and cultural rights already recognized but that needed to be given more visibility and applied to the specific needs and realities of peasants and other peoples working in rural areas. A number of participants stressed the importance of the right to food, as peasants and others peoples working in rural areas represented 80 per cent of those in the world that are hungry. The point was made that the key element of a right to food for peasants must be the right to produce food, and that aspect should be reinforced in the drafting of the article. Several participants also welcomed the inclusion of the right to a decent income in the declaration. They stressed that one major obstacle for peasants to have a decent income was the fact that peasants were not able to sell their production at a fair price. They proposed therefore the inclusion of some State obligations related to the need to regulate food markets in order to ensure a fair price for peasant products and also abuse of power by intermediaries, the dumping of agricultural products and the monopolies of transnational corporations be prohibited. They also stressed the necessity of including provisions on the need for States to support access to local markets for peasant production and stop applying to peasant products the same standards and regulations that they applied to industrial agricultural producers. Some participants also highlighted the issue of public subsidies and aids and proposed including the obligation of States to give priority to peasants for the attribution thereof. The problem of decent income for agricultural workers and the lack of implementation of existing instruments, including ILO instruments, was also highlighted by several participants and the point was made that the language of the article should be strengthened in that regard. 58. The Vice-Chair introduced articles 19-23, indicating the background of each article and opened the floor for comments from States, civil society and all participants. 59. A number of delegations noted that article 19 should be discussed in other United Nations forums and that many points in that particular article needed clarification. One delegation sought clarification on the sources for article 19. Other delegations noted that it was important to recognize those rights, building upon already agreed international standards, such as those existing on the responsible governance of land, fisheries and forests. A number of NGOs argued that, although the right to land was considered a “new” right, it was already established in other international instruments such as in the Declaration 14
