Food Sovereignty and Food Rights

What is food sovereignty? What is food rights? In the recent past I have had the privilege to attend two amazing events here in Nairobi. One, the graduation of the third cohort of African Food Fellows started by scholars at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and the other at the World Agroforestry Centre's Gigiri campus in Nairobi as African Plant Breeding Academy Fellows graduated the third cohort. My one common observation is that we have amazing programs elevating brilliant young Africans to a level where they can confidently address issues of hunger, malnutrition and poverty. African food fellows are made to provide leadership in this sector and only do so once they have been equipped with the appropriate tools and knowledge. The plant breeders are equipped with new skills in breeding that enable them to expand their performance and work. In both situations and I am sure in many more, governance and policies still come out as real concerns. In all this I see young people who are passionate about making a difference in their countries and on the continent, about impacting the ground and wanting to ensure food rights for the vulnerable amongst us. These young people will understand that food sovereignty means us valuing and protecting our food culture and food sources, and providing for the vulnerable: elderly, the disabled, and the income-less. The young people need to be passionate about food rights and hopefully will be in decision making positions where they ensure that nobody ever goes to bed hungry. They will do so because unlike now, they will understand the issues. What we need now is help for more capacity building programs.

Концептуальные признаки технологического суверенитета в государственной политике и академической практике

The work examines the main academic discourses in the interpretation and justification of the essence, meaning and role of technological sovereignty in the modern era of society development. The legal policy of various states andits key priorities in the field of ensuring technological sovereignty are discussed separately, as well as the doctrinal, legal and legislative foundations for ensuring technological sovereignty of Russian society during the period of sanctions pressure and changing geopoliticalreality are analyzed.

Teori Kedaulatan Negara

Sovereignty is simply the highest power. One of the principles of sovereignty means managing domestic affairs without interference from other countries, this is because the state has power. However, the issue of who owns the power is still a polemic to this day. This is because if something is said to be sovereign but can still be subject to other powers, then that is not sovereignty. Therefore, the emergence of theories of sovereignty did not coincide but developed according to the times, followed by the emergence of philosophers who were more critical about sovereignty in the state. Among the theories is the theory of state sovereignty, which means that the highest power is held by the state. However, as has been explained, this theory still has advantages and disadvantages, which means that the state can be subject to many things, but the state can also be subject to other things.

Implementation of the Voting Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the 2024 General Election in Koroha Village, District. Kodeoha, Kab. North Kolaka

The purpose of this research is to identify the obstacles faced by persons with disabilities in exercising their voting rights, evaluate the efforts that have been made to improve the accessibility and inclusion of persons with disabilities in the electoral process, and provide policy recommendations that can improve accessibility and protection of the rights of persons with disabilities in general elections. Researchers use a type of research in the form of qualitative research which is more concerned with forming substantive based on concepts that arise in empirical data. Researchers do not feel they know what they do not know, so the research design developed is always open to the possibility of various changes needed and flexible to the conditions in the field. This research uses interview, observation, and documentation techniques to obtain relevant data. The results of the research The implementation of voting for persons with disabilities in the village is quite good, with the efforts of local election organizers to facilitate accessibility needs. The participation of people with disabilities in the 2024 General Election in Koroha Village is quite high, showing an increase in their awareness and trust. What can be considered is increasing socialization, providing adequate accessibility facilities at all polling stations, and training for KPPS officers to be more sensitive to the needs of persons with disabilities. General elections as a means of popular sovereignty to elect members of the House of Representatives, members of the Regional Representatives Council, the President, and Vice President are a manifestation of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD NRI)

‘The rent is too damn high’ meets ‘pay the rent’: practising solidarity with the dispossessed*

This paper reflects on the Housing Justice in Unjust Cities Project that unfolded in so-called brisbane in 2021, in response to concerns over how the framing of demands and solutions to the present housing crisis in so-called australia can reinvest in and further legitimise colonial-carceral-capitalist logics and structures. Using critical co-constructed autoethnography as methodology, the authors reflect on their own involvement in housing struggles as settlers on unceded Aboriginal land, the recent history of these struggles in so-called brisbane, and the lessons and reflections that instigated the Housing Justice in Unjust Cities Project, and which emerged from our experiences organising together. The project, comprising a series of radio interviews and broadcasts followed by a public forum, was an attempt to foreground what ongoing Aboriginal sovereignty means for struggles for housing justice, and to challenge the colonial logics and common sense that often permeates settler-led housing politics. Drawing on Indigenist research approaches and police and prison abolition discourse, we offer some partial reflections on building communities of struggle that refuse to accept a housing justice that begins and ends with a more equitable distribution of stolen land.

Konstitusionalitas Penundaan Pemilihan Umum di Indonesia

General elections as a means of popular sovereignty have been explicitly described in legislation. This paper examines the postponement of general elections by the President through Presidential Regulation in Lieu of Law. The writing is done by using descriptive normative legal research method that uses some primary materials and secondary data supported by tertiary legal materials and analysed qualitatively. In addition, the research method used is a comparative approach to several countries that regulate and have postponed elections in their countries. Based on the results of this research, it is known that if the postponement of general elections is carried out at this time by the State of Indonesia, then it is irrelevant and contrary to constitutional democracy. This is because constitutional democracy emphasises the sovereignty of the people based on the constitution. In addition, the norms in the current Indonesian constitution do not provide an opportunity to postpone elections. If there is still a postponement of general elections without changing the constitution, it is clearly contrary to constitutional democracy.

Problematika Penanganan Politik Uang pada Pemilihan oleh Sentra GAKKUMDU Kabupaten Kendal

Indonesia has a democratic form of government where the government system is from the people, by the people, and for the people (Kristina, 2021). Democracy as a means of people's sovereignty is realized by holding Legislative Elections and Regional Head Elections. Of course, the implementation of elections or regional elections cannot be separated from the violations that occur. These violations are divided into administrative violations, violations of the code of ethics, and violations of electoral crimes. The handling of each violation varies. Administrative violations are forwarded to the KPU, violations of the code of conduct are forwarded to the DKPP, and violations of electoral crimes are forwarded to the Sentra Gakkumdu (Integrated Law Enforcement Center). A concrete example of the violation of electoral crime is money politics regulated in Article 187A of the Regional Head Election Law. The purpose of this paper is to find out the problems in handling money politics in the Regional Head Election by the Sentra Gakkumdu Kabupaten Kendal so as to minimize the occurrence of money political practices in the Regional Head Election and the implementation of handling election violations in accordance with the rules so that the holding of elections is carried out in accordance with applicable regulations. This research is an empirical or non-doctrinal legal research with a qualitative approach. The techniques used in collecting legal materials in this study are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that there are still several problems or obstacles faced by Sentra Gakkumdu, including community factors, law enforcement officials, and statutory factors..

Embroidering care and reciprocity: contributions to food sovereignty by feminist peasant women from the mountains of Veracruz, Mexico

Different authors from academia and social movements point to agroecology as a path to food sovereignty and as a way out of multiple social-ecological crises. Peasant feminism (feminismo campesino) informs the daily practice of women, and has contributed to broaden the meanings of food sovereignty as a political framework. Vinculación y Desarrollo Agroecológico en Café (VIDA) is a Mexican coffee growers’ organization that is centrally guided by principles of agroecology, food sovereignty, and peasant feminism. A transdisciplinary study held with VIDA members shows how food sovereignty is based on more dimensions than the official ones. In this paper, we use the Mexican art of embroidery as an integrating metaphor to analyze how female coffee growers’ practices around integral health, food gathering, and bartering contribute to food sovereignty. Our intention is also to analyze how these activities expand from the family unit to the territory, as well as from human to more than human beings. Based on their agroecological knowledge and practice, VIDA’s feminist peasant women invite us to consider agroecology and food sovereignty as key dimensions of Earth stewardship.

Технологический суверенитет России: вопросы теории и практики

Digital sovereignty, economic ideas, and the struggle over the digital markets act: a political-cultural approach

ABSTRACT Digital market regulations respond to technological changes and global dynamics, but also to how political actors shape markets. Focusing on the Digital Markets Act, this article explains the EU’s marketcraft as the result of a struggle in the policy field between political actors promoting competing economic ideas in a rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical context. We show that significant discursive and policy change in digital market governance has occurred because of shifting coalitions between three constellations of actors, which we call market-correctors, market-busters, and market-directors. Tracking the ongoing campaign to challenge Big Tech and define the meaning of digital sovereignty, we argue that market-directors have ushered in potentially comprehensive policy change.

Mitigasi Risiko Dan Jaminan Social Bagi Penyelenggara Pemilu 2024

Abstract; It is the constitutional mandate of the Republic of Indonesia to make elections a means of popular sovereignty and to be held every 5 years. Reflecting on the 2019 experience, elections were held simultaneously based on the Constitutional Court Decision MK No. 14/PUU-XI/2013 which simultaneously held presidential elections and national parliamentary elections and was followed up in Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections which also simultaneously held local parliamentary elections (provincial and district/city DPRD) along with presidential-vice presidential elections and parliamentary elections national (DPR and DPD).

Theorising Necromale Through Killable Female: A Study of Murder 2 and Article 15

This essay studies the construction of killable female bodies via two Hindi films: Murder 2 (2011) and Article 15 (2019) and theorises a necromale—male murdering agent following a violent sovereign ethos, which, in turn, illuminates sovereign Indian masculinity in crisis. One of the many romances of the idea of sovereignty and ideals of self-rule is the construction of imaginary adversaries whose violent execution serves the sovereign purpose. This essay extends the rhetoric of sovereignty to include male violence in the study of alleged enemies—dead girls. If sovereignty means power to kill or let live, then in what ways does that definition play out in these films through gender violence? The essay expands on the exclusionary principles of killability—secrecy around murder investigations, hasty cremation/burial, and patriarchal and casteist public discourses that serve exclusively to make the male Indian sovereign violence against the victims doubtable. The killable females became the potent ground where caste, patriarchal, and national ideologies combine, enabling the Indian male sovereignty to deploy its power to kill. However, this sovereign/casteist murderous male, whom the essay establishes as a necromale, is killable in return. The male power to kill emerges as a suicidal martyrdom because the state’s right to kill ultimately reserves the monopoly on violence.

Constitutional Morality and Authoritarianism: Percolating Constitutionalism Through Judicial Interpretation

Modern political and democratic thinking is broadly dominated by liberal constitutionalism. Precisely, in post-colonial constitutions, one witnesses the preoccupation with the idea of constitutionalism. However, at the same time, the extent to which politics informs the working of a Constitution has made it difficult to distinguish between the regular politics and the politics that guides constitutionalism. In this list, populism also threw challenges in the path of constitutional–democratic governance of a polity; however, lately, things have taken a sharp shift. The emergence of legal autocrats espousing strategies to undermine constitutionalism has raised questions over the liberal constitutional project and what sovereignty means. Although Hungary and Poland are often flagged as textbook examples of autocratic legalism, it does not mean that established democracies have insurance from the same. The USA under Donald Trump showcased the vulnerabilities of democracy to the autocratic pull despite having a long history of democracy and a tradition of robust institutions. Given this backdrop, the immediate challenge is to determine how constitutionalism could be rejuvenated whilst safeguarding fundamental rights. In this paper, we examine India’s recent political and legal developments and attempt to read them through autocratic legalism. Given this, the judiciary has the potential to tame this autocratic march, given its constitutional mandate. In this, we propose that the evolving jurisprudence of constitutional morality (CM), despite its patent limitations, would not just address the constitutional malaise but would, as a result, deepen constitutionalism.

Understanding sovereignty through meteorology: China, Japan, and the dispute over the Qingdao Observatory, 1918–1931

ABSTRACT Concentrating on the Qingdao Observatory, this paper will explore the role of scientific facility in asserting China’s sovereignty during the first half of the twentieth century. Although scholars have explained the efforts of China’s internationalization in diplomacy through the perspectives of politics, economics and culture, they have not paid attention to science. Therefore, this paper aims to shed some light on how scientific issues were solved via diplomacy during the Republic of China, while further asserting that the focus in negotiations was not confined to science itself, but rather to sovereignty within a scientific context. In this process, the meaning of sovereignty has also been expanded basing on the improvement of nation’s scientific capability. Besides, the participation of different actors involved in sovereignty assertion is investigated by this paper. Although the diplomatic negotiation was held at the international level, the local government and scientific community were main promoters in this case, which calls for attention on the various subjects in sovereignty issue. Consequently, this paper argues that Asian countries, such as Republic of China, could also employ science as a means to negotiate with foreign powers and claim their due rights.

DILEMMAS OF RE-NATIVIZATION OF INDIGENOUS LAW

The author in this study tests the applicability of basic categories of Leon Petrażycki’s (1865–1931) socio-psychological theory of law, pointing at ambiguity of the concept of ‘indigenous law’, ‘natives’ law’ and ‘customary law’. First, however, the right to one’s own law is followed through the history of colonization. It is essential for the plight of the indigenous people that already in 1537 Popes recognized that ‘original inhabitants’ had ‘rights’ and thus ‘legitimate claims’. If, on the one hand, there are ‘rights’ and ‘rightful claims’ then, on the other, there are duties that include not only the negative refraining from appropriation but also the positive duty to protect in exchange for the impairing the indigenous sovereignty. But whenever the nexus iuris is recognized, i.e. the link of correlative rights and duties, there is a law (Petrażycki) and ‘inherent – even if impaired, or as some say, abused – sovereignty of the indigenous people’ (Justice Marshall). The pluralist notion of ‘law’, the distinction between the ‘normative positive’ reference and the ‘normative intuition’ and the distinction between the ‘normative’ and the ‘factual’ should allow one to organize systematically the multiple issues that one encounters when approaching the area of ‘indigenous law’. From discussion of the official nonindigenous indigenous law exemplified by the federal Native American law of the United States the paper moves on to discuss the Navajo case of the official tribal law. It comes out that the native procedures and law are full of religious meaning so the ‘cultural’ sovereignty is much more fundamental and value-loaded than the secular philosophy of human rights incommensurable with the right to one’s own law. This is not considered when borrowing from native law into secular Western law (Greenland’s Criminal Code; mediation procedures in North America). The meaning of cultural sovereignty is the right to develop one’s law so that it fits one’s needs and aims. But the full success story is when the antithesis of the ‘indigenous’ and ‘dominant’ law is settled through the feedback from the former to the latter, like when the law – not only of a country but also on the global level – becomes syncretic and embraces deeper universalization of the human rights.

Juridical Review of the Authority of the Central Jakarta District Court in Deciding Election Postponement Cases (Central Jakarta District Court Decision Study Decision Number 757/Pdt.G/2022/PN Jkt. Pst)

Indonesia is a unitary state in the form of a republic that adheres to an indirect democratic system of government, in which the people's voice is represented by the people's representative body so that the state always carries out a general election system every 5 years. General elections are a means of people's sovereignty to elect members of the DPR, DPD, DPRD, President and Vice President, which are carried out directly, publicly, freely, confidentially, honestly and fairly, within the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. issues circulating in Indonesia regarding elections because Indonesia will again carry out elections in 2024. One of the issues that has shocked the public lately is the issue of postponing the elections that came from the Central Jakarta District Court. The research method used in writing this scientific article is normative juridical research. As for the research approach used in this study is qualitative research. From the results of the research, the authors conclude that the election dispute between the Prima Party and the KPU does not fulfill the conditions for postponement of the election, and that the Central Jakarta District Court is not authorized to adjudicate cases of postponed elections. Court institutions in the future are expected to carry out their duties and authorities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Analysis of Problems in the Implementation of Elections in Districts or Villages

General elections, hereinafter referred to as elections, have the means of popular sovereignty to elect members of the People's Representative Council, members of the Regional Representatives Council, President and Vice President, and to elect members of the Regional People's Representative Council which are carried out directly, publicly, freely, confidentially, honestly and fairly in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Any choice is very prone to various violations and even fraud. Indicators that show the reasons for this problem are not only in the organizers, but also in the behavior of competitors. The intended Indonesian citizens are the original Indonesian people/nation and people of other nations who are legalized by law as citizens. Any choice is very vulnerable to various violations and even cheating. One of the violations that we often face is the abuse of the right to vote. General elections are considered to be the earliest stage of various series of democratic constitutional life. Law Number 7 of the 2017 Election clarifies various criminal provisions against violations and/or fraud in the administration of elections. So that elections are the driving force behind the mechanism of the Indonesian political system. Until now, elections are still considered as an important state event. This is because elections involve all the people directly.

Indigenous food systems and food sovereignty: A collaborative conversation from the American Association of Geographers 2022 Annual Meeting

Indigenous scholars and their allies increasingly contribute to food systems debates and practices through pursuing and interrogating ideas of Indigenous food sovereignty. This essay adds to this ongoing conversation by providing a synthesis of and reflection on a panel session on Indigenous food sovereignty held at the American Association of Geographers (AAG) 2022 Annual Meeting. We place this conversation in the context of a growing body of scholarship on food sovereignty and Indigenous food systems. Organized by the AAG’s Geographies of Food and Agriculture Specialty Group, with support from the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems and Community Development, the session engaged Indigenous scholars in a discussion about the meaning of food sovereignty, different ways of knowing, relationships and reciprocity, and systems of power. The panelists emphasized the relation­ship between all elements of creation at the core of food sovereignty, the importance of valuing differ­ent ways of knowing and expertise, making visible histories of settler knowledge appropriation, and critically assessing how power manifests, operates, and is understood in different food systems and worldviews. Building on the scholarly literature and the evolving place-based grounding of food sover­eignty movements, we argue that it is critical to address ongoing realities of genocide and settler colonialism in North America/Turtle Island by forging respectful relationships with all of creation and to work through collaborations led by Indigenous people and grounded in reciprocity.
