right to food and life Explanation: I suggest the above translation based on the example found on the following website (see link below): Con relación a los demás derechos alegados, los peticionarios sostienen que las pensiones y jubilaciones forman parte del derecho adquirido de propiedad, las cuales se han degradado hasta el punto de perder substantividad como consecuencia del desfase de los haberes,[35] o por la postergación fuera de los limites razonables del cumplimiento de las sentencias que determinan ese derecho. Además, el régimen de los jubilados viola el derecho a la igualdad ante la ley, en virtud de que hay sectores jubilados privilegiados, como los ex legisladores, la justicia, las FFAA, los ex-ministros,[36] a lo que se suman las "jubilaciones de privilegio" y las "pensiones graciables". También alegan que se ve afectado el derecho a la salud, al bienestar y a la vida, pues se vulneran derechos de naturaleza alimentaria que son el único ingreso para sobrevivir y se les imposibilita pagar servicios básicos o medicamentos en virtud de que la mayoría de los peticionarios no puede conseguir otra fuente de ingresos. Señalan que la puesta en marcha del plan económico desde 1991 ha incrementado los índices de mortalidad de la población de la tercera edad. ======= . In regard to the other rights mentioned, the petitioners maintain that a pension is part of one’s property and thus covered by the right to property. They say that pensions have dwindled to the point of becoming meaningless, due to their growing outdatedness[34] and unwarranted delays in enforcing judgments recognizing this right. Moreover, the retirement system violates the right to equal protection of the law since certain groups of retirees, such as former legislators, judges, members of the armed forces and ministers can be considered privileged.[35] They also mention “pensions of privilege” and “pensions to be thankful for.” The petitioners hold that their rights to health, well-being and life are being affected, as their only source of income–and thus of purchasing food and surviving–is being threatened. And since most of them do not have access to any other source of income, they cannot afford basic services and needed medicine. They go on to point out that since the implementation of the economic plan in 1991, the mortality rate of the elderly has been on the rise.

sustenance rights Explanation: si tuviera que eligir. Es complicado esto, se basa en "the right to food" y sólo en ese sentido se puede entender como inconstitucional; los "derechos alimentarios" son derechos básicos, pero a la vez se invocan en los casos de sustento de menores, que también pueden implicar aspectos de otra índole. |

the rights to food Explanation: Estoy de acuerdo con las definiciones dadas por los dos colegas anteriores, creo a la definición del primero le sobra el texto después de right to food; al segundo "right of sustenance" es algo así como el alimony right. Por tanto yo lo dejaría solol así "the right to food" Ojalá le ayude |

right to maintenance / right to food Explanation: Termium says it's "right to maintenance" in a legal context (divorce, etc.) Or... if it has to do with basic human rights (the Barcelona Declaration, 1992), it would be: (From Termium) Subject Field(s) – International Relations Subject Field(s) – Relations internationales right to food 1996-06-02 See also: ... repeatedly reiterated in 1983, 1984 and 1992 through the Barcelona Declaration, which called for respect for mankind's right to food. At the World Food Summit ... www.txinfinet.com/ban-gef/00/9/9-14.HTML There is also a 1999 document that uses "right to adequate food."
