      The main pendant on my necklace is designed to rest on the belly. It is made of silver and copper using photo-etched images sourced from newspapers and the internet. The main image illustrates a violation of article 25, while the links supporting that central image illustrate ways in which that violation came about and is maintained.
      In the hot Haiti sun a woman sets out rows of mud patties to dry. People who haven't enough money to buy food eat these to stop hunger pains.

      In 2008 the USA, once bread basket to the world, dedicated 30% of its corn crop to the production of bio-fuels for its automobiles. Europe too, introduced laws forcing all motorists to accept bio-fuels mixed in with their petrol. Through 2007 & 2008 bio-fuel refineries sprang up, watching speculators placed their bets, grain prices rocketed. The competition between feeding cars and feeding people began. Analysts attributed three quarters of the rise in the grain price to bio-fuels.
      It does not have to be like this. Another world is possible.
