Police used excessive and lethal force on university campuses and during protests, injuring hundreds of students. Arbitrary arrests and convictions of students also occurred during this period. Context On April 18, 2018, university students and pensioners led peaceful demonstrations in Managua and León, Nicaragua, in response to unpopular social security reforms.1280 Police and pro-government armed groups (often referred to as “turbas sandinistas”)1281 responded violently, in some cases using lethal force, to the peaceful protests that erupted across the country and continued for nearly six months.1282 Beginning on May 7, 2018, students and young people occupied the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua), which became a site of attacks on higher education students, personnel, and infrastructure during protests.1283 Police and pro-government armed groups also attacked several other universities during the reporting period, including the National Agrarian University (UNA) and the Central American University (UCA).1284 Protesters often used roadblocks and barricades as a protest tool; some protesters reportedly used violence against police, although the majority of protesters remained peaceful.1285 Violent repression of protests by police and armed pro-government groups resulted in 328 deaths,

    FIAN International’s Submission on Children’s Right to Food and Nutrition to the Committee on the Rights of the Child Day of General Discussion: “Children’s Rights and the Environment” 23 September 2016 I. Introduction FIAN International welcomes the Committee on the Rights of the Child’s (“the Committee”) decision to devote its 2016 general discussion day to the issue of children’s rights and the environment and its call for civil society submissions to contribute to a better understanding of the relationships between the different actors and human rights at play. This contribution seeks to provide information about the topics of Working Group 1 – Children’s exposure to environmental toxicants and Working Group 2 – Children and the effects of environmental degradation by identifying the links between the environment, children’s human right to food and nutrition, and States Parties’ obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (“the Convention”). The information contained in this submission is based, inter alia, on information obtained by FIAN over the last 30 years through exchanges with affected communities during the course of our work, especially during the process of documenting and analyzing cases of violations of the right to food and nutrition and related rights, elaborating case strategies, and conducting workshops and seminars at the national, regional, and international levels, in which affected communities, advocates, and academics from different regions of the world have participated. II. Our holistic understanding of the human right to food and nutrition We, at FIAN, understand the human right to food and nutrition as a comprehensive concept intrinsically linked to the full realization of children’s rights, and within the conceptual framework of food sovereignty.
