In this context, the Sovereign Order of Malta highlighted its practical experience and past humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Friedemann Eder, First Counsellor of the Mission, delivered a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/HRC6120-20ID20SR20right20to20food20-20statement.pdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> in which he highlighted that access to land is fundamental to ensuring other Human Rights, such as access to food and the right of dignity. He illustrated how the Order\u2019s previous experiences have helped small-scale farmers and strengthened local food systems, showing its commitment to the matter. Finally, Mr. Friedemann concluded that food security must go beyond emergency aid, and should include investment in local capacities to ensure resilient supply chains, he concluded by reaffirming the Order\u2019s commitment to keeping access to food and land as essential components for human dignity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","news_gallery":"no"},"news_categories":[{"id":10,"name":"News","slug":"news","description":"","link":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/news-categories\/news\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie\/3137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie\/3137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3140,"href":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/notizie\/3137\/revisions\/3140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unmissionge.orderofmalta.int\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
