In light of armed conflict, environmental change, and climate change, a regional workshop on the role of media in promoting the enjoyment of the right to adequate food got underway in Rabat.   
 
Al Jazeera Public Liberties & Human Rights Center, in collaboration with the National Human Rights Committee of the State of Qatar, the Arabic Network of National Human Rights Institutions, the United Nations Human Rights Training and Documentation Center for South-West Asia and the Arabic Region, and the achorouk Center for Media, Democracy and Human Rights, organized a regional training seminar titled "The Role of Media in Promoting the Enjoyment of the Right to Adequate Food: In Light of Armed Conflict, Environmental Change and Climate."   
 
The seminar also aims to explain the principles, standards, indicators and general comments that explain its work and protection and contribute to raising public awareness of the nature of the obligations of States to implement the right to adequate food at the national level.
 
The seminar aims to enhance joint work between humanitarian organizations and media institutions in spreading and protecting the culture of human rights.
 
The organizers' speeches pointed to the violations and flagrant violation of UN conventions by the Zionist entity in Gaza in terms of the siege it imposes, the restrictions it makes to prevent the delivery of food, as well as the violation of human rights standards, the mass death it commits against innocent people, in addition to the continuous targeting of journalists. 
 
The seminar stressed the need not to escape punishment for those involved in violations, and to pursue them in order to reach justice and truth.
