Is it really a shock?
hits blunt ….fuck
If food or even water was a human right then a lot of capitalisms main ideologies would be wrong. You see why capitalism should be dead 100 years ago.
No surprise there. How about water as a human right?

Nah, that’s for data centers
Because the UN has exactly one purpose: Serve as a forum for nations to communicate and prevent world war.
That’s it.
You can read the US’ reasoning for it here: https://geneva.usmission.gov/2017/03/24/u-s-explanation-of-vote-on-the-right-to-food/
The US also voted no because the belief that States are responsible for implementing human rights provisions themselves, not requiring other countries to pick up the tab. The US already provides more than half of global food aid. This resolution would have amounted to “all of your food belongs to everyone” which is bullshit.

Europe is the greatest donor. Even before Trump
Have you even read that? The US is still the top donor, contributing more than all of Europe combined. And that’s with the massive decrease in spending by the Trump admin.
The US went from about half of all global humanitarian spending (since that is not just food aid, which I was talking about but hey, move those goalposts!) to 23%.
Yes i read it
I feel like I’m going crazy that you’re responding to someone saying Europe is the greatest donor, and their proof is a publication showing the US donating more than twice Europe.
Keep fighting the good fight, I guess. America Bad is just so hot right now.
The way I read it, the US donated twice as much as EU institutions, but EU countries donated as well, bringing the EU total above that of the US. Only counting EU institutions is like only counting donations made by the US federal government, but not those made by US states.
Yes you are
Misinformation: The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights was drafted in 1954, signed in 1966 and came to effect in 1976. Israel ratified it in 1991. It’s true though, that the US only signed it in 1977 but didn’t ratify it…
Misinformation? It ia right here: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3951462
The President: Draft resolution XII is entitled “The right to food”.

Against: Israel, United States of America
