THE RIGHT TO FOOD IN LIGHT OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW
Main Article Content
Abstract
The right to adequate food is one of the fundamental human rights essential for ensuring a decent standard of living and health. This right constitutes an international legal obligation incumbent upon states to undertake necessary measures to eradicate hunger. This right has been enshrined in international conventions, with the United Nations actively working to guarantee and implement it in practice. Moreover, comprehensive safeguards have been established to promote this right across the globe, and international policies have been adopted to address global food issues, eradicate hunger and malnutrition, and protect and enhance the human environment.
