The United Nations special rapporteur on the right to food has strongly condemned the invasion of Iraq and the global anti-terror drive, accusing the US-led coalition of using food deprivation as a military tactic and of sapping efforts to fight hunger in the world. Jean Ziegler also highlighted what he called “widespread concerns about the continued lack of access to clean drinking water” and allegations that the US blocked off water supplies from Fallujah during the siege earlier this year, which Ziegler said was a violation of the Geneva convention.
