16. 国际法申明，为确保人人免受饥饿，各国有国际合作的义务，并应共享科学知识并“计及粮食输入及输出国家双方问题，确保世界粮食供应[……]公平分配”。46 由于抗击大流行病的措施破坏了全球供应链，许多国家的食物供应突然中断，威胁到千百万人的食物权，特别是城市贫民。在粮食分配系统高度集中和一体化的发达经济体中，影响更为明显。47 学校关闭也影响了富裕和贫穷经济体的儿童获得营养食物。48 世界粮食计划署(粮食署)申明了国际团结的各项基本原则，可以减轻为抗击疫情所采取的措施预计将对粮食获取渠道造成的损害，包括监测价格和支持社会安全网，这些原则在 2020 年 4 月提出后不久就得到多边机构的大力支持。49
16. International law affirms the obligation of international cooperation to ensure freedom from hunger, in scientific knowledge-sharing and, “taking into account the problems of both food-importing and food-exporting countries, to ensure an equitable distribution of world food supplies”.46 As measures to combat the pandemic struck down global supply chains, access to food was suddenly cut off for many, threatening the right to food of millions, in particular the urban poor. Impacts were more acutely felt in advanced economies with highly centralized and integrated food distribution systems.47 School closures also affected children’s access to nutritious food in rich and poor economies.48 The World Food Programme (WFP) has affirmed fundamental principles of international solidarity as ways of mitigating the harm to access to food which is expected to result from measures taken to combat the pandemic, including monitoring prices and supporting social safety nets, principles which were largely supported by multilateral agencies soon after they were recommended in April 2020.49
