". How can we fail to comment on the affirmation in this resolution which states that every human being has the right to have access to healthy and nutritional food and clean water and a fundamental right to be protected from famine? How can we fail to be horrified by the statistic that 815 million people in the world suffer from hunger? Our positive vote is solely inspired by this aspect of the document. Because how, at the same time, can we fail to be indignant at the hypocrisy of gaining unanimity across all the parties, which, for the most part, have supported each and every disgraceful policy conducted by the major imperial powers to support their corporations and financial groups which are directly or indirectly responsible for this situation? The material resources and accumulated wealth are more than enough to provide every human being with access to food and water. But this wealth is monopolised by a small number of large corporations which not only refuse to part with the slightest amount in order to help those members of the human race that are suffering, but continue to increase their wealth at its expense. The resolution stops short of the point where the problems begin. It is precisely because of its hypocritical condemnation and its cowardly proposals that all the parties were able to take a part in drafting it."@en1
