UN rapporteur and WTO head debate the impact of trade on hunger, a news article, reports on the debate on the impact of trade on hunger between UN rapporteur and WTO head. Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, argued that agricultural trade liberalisation hampers governments’ ability to ensure the poor have food. WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy countered that Dr De Schutter is incorrect to blame more open trade for hunger around the world.
