34 - Constitution may be amended like other countries to include right to food as a fundamental human right. - A framework law should be adopted to ensure the right to food in Bangladesh. - Existing legislation on land issues should be reviewed, revised and harmonized in order to improve protection of the land rights of the poorest, minorities and women, including improving access to khas land and challenging the illegal acquisition of land by powerful people. The land registration and recording system should also be made reliable, transparent and accountable.102 - Remedies for violation of the rights to food must be available in the framework law in order to address impunity for these violations. - Since food security is a multi-sectoral, issue, an integrated approach should be developed to bring together all the diverse players and stakeholders as well as to make them accountable for improving food security. - Strong market monitoring is needed to curb the artificial price hike of essential food products through organized syndicates. 21.
