A/HRC/19/32 and the special protection of the family. In more specific comments he stated, in relation to heading P, that a basic choice existed between treating all rights falling under this section distinctly or jointly in one paragraph. The right to food, in particular, needed to be addressed in greater detail and in relation to the work done by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (general comment No. 12). He stressed the link between the right to food and a wider approach to social justice and pointed to the obligation of State Parties to alleviate hunger (art. 11). He proposed that the concepts of adequacy and sustainability of food availability, as developed in the general comment, be utilised in the draft guiding principles, and recommended that they also call for the development of national strategies for the eradication of hunger. Benchmarking should be introduced to provide for more accurate monitoring of state parties‟ performance in this regard. In relation to heading Q, Mr. Kedzia proposed that the DGPs note that responsibility for the fulfilment of the right lay with state parties even where the provision of water and sanitation had been privatised or otherwise outsourced. In relation to heading R, he recommended that the guidelines complement the mentioned due process safeguards against forced eviction with entitlements as to compensation, the prohibition of eviction without alternative shelter, and the participation in the decision-making process by those under threat of eviction. He also proposed that specific vulnerable groups be highlighted, notably homeless persons and families, those inadequately housed and without ready access to basic amenities, those living in „illegal‟ settlements, those subject to forced eviction, and generally persons on a low income. In relation to heading T, Mr. Kedzia proposed several additions to the mentioned protections, namely compensation mechanisms and assistance in the event of loss of employment by the breadwinners of poor families, protection of pregnant women against the loss of employment, access to a first job as well as nondiscrimination on grounds of gender, age, and disability. 87. The UNHCR proposed, under heading L, to mention asylum-seekers and stateless persons as in special need of legal recognition. 88. The National Human Rights Commission of Hungary proposed, under heading N, to reverse the order of sections and have section 3 begin with the paragraph on the right to life. 89. FIAN pointed to the importance, under heading P, of taking into consideration both gender and cultural factors in food programmes. 90. The Government of Algeria and the International Commission of Jurists reiterated the importance, under headings P and Q,of the right to food and called for its greater prominence in this section. 91. The Government of Switzerland recommended that, under heading T, specific mention of a minimum wage be omitted. Analytic conclusions of the section 92. In sum, the importance of drawing on complementary mechanisms or programs, especially in a United Nations context, was again highlighted in this section.25 Several issues were proposed for addition to those listed, among them children26 and the environment,27 the right to food,28 and the question of access to safe drinking water and sanitation.29 25 26 27 See submission by the Governments of Argentina and Canada.
