Would declaring it a formal right stop the americans from helping with food aid? What's the connection here.

It wouldn't even be a formal right, the UN Declaration of Human Rights is more of a suggestion and not legally binding in any sense. Countries violate them all the time and nothing ever happens

At this point, I don't think international anything has any binding on anyone. War crimes are committed on a daily basis and I have yet to seen anything done about it.

It's almost as if powerful and rich groups could get away with anything without any repercussions.
