It seems that this comment did not make it in to the e-discussion on A4A Zero Draft:
Alignment
.20 principles should include self-determination
Generating decent work on the land and in food production and distribution are urgent matters, especially in the process of emerging from protracted crises. There the multi-stakeholder synergy must be found to regulate market activity, including state interventions, toward productive and employment-generating outcomes.
21(iii). “elicit flows” [of capital and other assets]
Resilience needs to be redefined to reduce the onus on the victims, emphasize both accountability and liability for crises and causal factors, explicitly recognizing also people and community rights to resist violations that plunge them in to crises, as well as the full implementation of reparations as an entitlement defined in international instruments.
This could be added under principles for Action (para. 30).
28. The reference to the “relationship between humanitarian efforts and development” is an incomplete construct, if it does not integrate the “indivisible and indispensable relationship among humanitarian efforts, development and human rights.”
Principles for Action
Para. 31. draws the link between humanitarian and human rights norms and corresponding obligations, but these are conceptually linked to development. It may be hazardous in the long run to delink development from international law obligations. All Members States under the UN Charter share the tripartite purpose that embraces forward development, peace and security, and human rights.
For enhancing the High-level Task Force’s role, alignment with other shared commitments and obligations, and in the interest of the A4A’s integrity with UN Charter principles, the paramount obligations to uphold peace and security—with regard to food security—almost go without saying, but shouldn’t. The peace-and-security aspect of particularly relevant norms and obligations cannot be obscured in such an Agenda. They could be obliquely interpreted as among humanitarian obligations. However, it would be better for posterity to make this clearer and more specific.
For clarity: Eliminate passive voice and meaningless figures of speech by reformulating afflicted sentences.
