    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.
