E/C.12/TGO/CO/1 26. The Committee notes with deep concern the large number of cases that have been brought to its attention where communities and landowners whose land has been seized in the public interest have not been provided with compensation or relocated appropriately (art. 11 and art. 1 para. 2). Taking note of the statement by the delegation to the effect that the State party is reviewing expropriation cases, the Committee calls upon the State party to resolve, as a matter of urgency, the situation of the groups and individuals concerned by expropriation in the public interest, for whom compensation or replacement rent have not been paid. Furthermore, the Committee urges the State party to align the legal provisions on expropriation, including Decree No. 45-2016 of 1 September 1945 regulating expropriation in the public interest, with the relevant international norms. In particular, the Committee recommends that the right of dwellers, local communities and landowners to prior, free and informed consent in matters that could have an impact on their lives be protected by law. The Committee also draws the attention of the State party to the basic principles and guidelines concerning development-based evictions and displacements (A/HRC/4/18), which were prepared by the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living. 27. The Committee is concerned about the harmful environmental and social impact of the natural resource extraction activities undertaken in the State party (art. 11 and art. 1, para. 2). The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen the legal framework governing the protection of the environment and social rights in the area of mineral exploitation in the light of the problems that have emerged as a result of these activities. The Committee also recommends that the State party ensure that the decree implementing Act No. 2011-008 of 3 May 2011 on the contribution of mining companies to local and regional development establishes provisions that allow tangible benefits for the realization of the economic, social and cultural rights of the communities concerned. 28. The Committee deplores the food insecurity and malnutrition that affects a large part of the population in the State party, notwithstanding the fact that the National Agricultural Investment and Food Security Programme has been implemented. The Committee is further concerned by the marketing of food products that do not comply with legal standards (art. 11). The Committee requests that the State party, through its National Agricultural Investment and Food Security Programme and the activities of the National Food Security Agency, ensure that: (a) the legal framework of the right to food is strengthened; (b) the activities conducted are aimed at implementing the right to food by including the various components of that right, namely adequacy, quality, availability and physical and economic accessibility; and (c) the responsibilities of the various stakeholders are clearly defined, particularly where the implementation of the national programme is concerned. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 12 (1999) on the right to adequate food. 29. The Committee notes with concern the difficulties that the State party faces in upholding the right to health. The Committee notes the inadequacy of the resources allocated to the health sector and the impact that this has on human resources and health infrastructure, as well as the high cost of health care for households, public health problems such as malaria and diarrhoeal diseases, and infant and maternal mortality rates (art. 12).
