 * __Ensuring the right to food for all, without discrimination__**

Iraq, in its ultimate effort to contribute to the distribution of food without discrimination, deeply believes that food should be issued to everybody equally. Nowadays, there are some non-profit organizations such as the WFP, Food Assistance Program and the FAO that distribute food to peoples in need without discrimination. Iraq believes that countries should follow these organizations by example or invest in them, because they are currently doing an effective job of distributing food. The Food Assistance program has imbedded in its rules of conduct the criterion that should be used by countries while distributing food, “Distribute food without discrimination with respect to clients on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, medical condition, religion, politics, sex, or sexual orientation” Iraq firmly believes that these traits of a person should in no way influence how much food they receive. Iraq has experience with distributing food, because after our conflict with the US, we received plenty of generous food donations in which we had to distribute to people. Nowadays, it is much simpler to deliver food to other countries, and if the food is being distributed unevenly, then it does not reach its full potential. Iraq believes that everybody deserves equal food opportunities, and its for that reason that we need to work on a framework to help organizations and other countries evenly distribute food to their population.
