FOOD SECURITY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF HUMAN RIGHTS DEVELOPMENT AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL*

Mădălina Virginia Antonescu

Contemporary Legal Institutions, 2014, vol. 6, issue 1, 100-110

Abstract: At the beginning of 21st century, the global society is confronted with specific phenomena as chronic starvation of entire populations, malnutrition, limited access to natural resources, urbanization, migration, pollution, industrial damages produced to natural environment, global climate change etc. As direct consequences of these phenomena, international contemporary law must develop and consolidate accordingly. The paper is making an analysis of “food security” concept from a juridical point of view, precisely from the perspective of human rights (from already consecrated human rights – as the right to life, the right to corporal and psychical integrity, the right to health, the right to have a healthy natural environment –, to new rights as the right for adequate food).
