Some states deny their own citizens one of the most fundamental
human rights: the right to food. Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann, a
leading scholar of human rights, discusses state food crimes,
demonstrating how governments have introduced policies that cause
malnutrition or starvation among their citizens and others for whom
they are responsible. The book introduces the right to food and
discusses historical cases (communist famines in Ukraine, China and
Cambodia, and neglect of starvation by democratic states in
Ireland, Germany and Canada). It then moves to a detailed
discussion of four contemporary cases: starvation in North Korea,
and malnutrition in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and the West Bank and
Gaza. These cases are then used to analyse international human
rights law, sanctions and food aid, and civil and political rights
as they pertain to the right to food. The book concludes by
considering the need for a new international treaty on the right to
food.
