Child Hunger and Human Rights: International Governance applies
the human rights theory of legal obligation to the problem of child
malnutrition and investigates whether duty-bearers have fulfilled
their obligations to protect, respect and provide.
This book includes moral, economic, political and legal
components to the research on the child's right to be free from
hunger. Using two methods of investigation; the first a historical
comparative method based on the systematic analysis of the content
of historical materials, government documents, policy statements,
state budgets, newspaper reports and other public records, and the
second is statistical analysis. Apodaca investigates beyond the
suffering, deformities, and deaths of children, to child
malnutrition resulting in reduced physical and mental development
threatening the child's life opportunities, the prospects of
further generations, and the growth of the economy.
Examining the connection between governmental agricultural,
economic and financial policies, international donor policies, and
transnational corporate voluntary codes of conduct affecting child
malnutrition rates, this book will be of interest to policy-makers,
activists, students and scholars of human rights, social justice,
international ethics, development, international relations and
law.
