A new and incisive analysis of the political viability of human rights, with an in-depth investigation of its largest violation: world hunger.
Gonzalez-Pelaez develops John Vincent's theory of basic human rights within the context of the international political economy and demonstrates how the right to food has become an international norm enshrined within international law. She then assesses the international normative and practical dimensions of hunger in connection with international trade and poverty. Using the society of states as the framework of analysis, she explores the potential that the current system has to correct its own anomalies, and examines the measures that can move the hunger agenda forward in order to break through its current stagnation.

M* Dolores Gonzalez Katarain, Yoyes, nacio en Ordizia el 14/5/1954. En los primeros anos 70 se integro en ETA, y, a finales de 1973, se exilio a Euskadi Norte. Tras abandonar la organizacion en 1979 se traslado a Mexico donde realizo la carrera de Sociologia. En 1985 regreso a Euskadi acogiendose al decreto de amnistia de 1977. El 10/9/1986 fue asesinada en su pueblo natal, en atentado de ETA, quien la califico de traidora al Pueblo Vasco. Sin embargo, ni este argumento ni los posteriores intentos de justificacion han conseguido neutralizar el impacto que produjo. El hecho ha sido objeto de varios analisis que coinciden en ver en ello la degradacion a la que pueden verse abocadas las organizaciones militaristas. El diario se inicia en 1979, y se extiende hasta sus ultimos dias. En el, va dejando constancia de su vida cotidiana , a la vez que reflexiona sobre todo aquello que despierta su curiosidad, siempre desde una optica femenina, rebelde ante las limitaciones que esta sociedad impone a la mujer.
