Should Some Nutrition Goals be Transformed into Rights?
Abstract
The achievement of ambitious health goals depends on strategies through which their achievement could realistically be expected. Sometimes, pathways are known but not used. Treating goals as rights could strengthen the motivation to follow them. Rights-bearers and their representatives would know their rights. Duty-bearers would be clearly identified and held accountable for doing what they are supposed to do. Thus, important nutrition goals might be more likely to be achieved if the goals were treated as rights.
