Given the failures of the UN Food Systems Summit and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to tackle the problems related to the corporate capture of food governance, this article calls for developing comprehensive legal frameworks for corporate accountability in food governance. In doing so, the authors identify key regulatory elements that need to be taken into account in food governance discussions. Their recommendations are borrowed from the guidance developed in the context of the negotiations for an International Legally Binding Instrument on TNCs and other Businesses with Respect to Human Rights, as well as in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the WHO Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors, and the WHO Financial Regulations and Financial Rules.
鉴于联合国粮食系统峰会和联合国粮食及农业组织(粮农组织)未能解决与企业掌控粮食治理相关的问题,本文呼吁制定全面的法律框架,以实现粮食治理中企业的问责制。在此过程中,作者们确定了粮食治理讨论中需要考虑的关键监管要素。他们的建议借鉴了在关于跨国公司和其他企业与人权问题的具有法律约束力的国际文书谈判背景下制定的指导意见,以及世界卫生组织《烟草控制框架公约》、世界卫生组织与非国家行为体的参与框架以及世界卫生组织财务条例和财务细则中的相关内容。
