Government Prosecution for Food Insecurity in North Korea
Abstract
Food security is one of the basic human rights and governments are committed to establishing and maintaining it in their countries. North Korea has an authoritarian government whose ideological priorities have led to disregard for the nation's human rights. Throughout the history of the North Korean government, millions of people have lost their lives as a result of its decisions. Food insecurity has been one of the most important causes of terrible damage to the people of North Korea. This challenge has sometimes manifested itself in the form of a terrible famine. Can the regime of North Korea be prosecuted for its crimes against humanity based on its responsibility to create food insecurity in North Korea? This is the question that this research seeks to answer it. Researchers in this study believe that the North Korean government, with its policies and behaviour over the decades, has, directly and indirectly, created the challenge. The crisis that has led to human catastrophe at times and its perpetrators have committed crimes against humanity.
