Background and Objective: Food security is one of the criteria and necessities of human development. The right to access sufficient and safe food is a central pillar of development, societal health, and the foundation for future generations. In this regard, criminal law can provide a set of tools to guarantee this right. This research comparatively examines the effects of criminal law on guaranteeing the right to nutrition in developed and developing countries. The main objective is to compare the common criminal law policies, legislation, and mechanisms in these two categories of countries to promote food rights and monitoring institutions in the realm of food security and the prevention of malnutrition.
Method: This research was written using various legal sources, employing an analytical-comparative method and relying on library resources.
Ethical Considerations: In this research, while respecting the originality of the texts, honesty and integrity have been observed.
Findings: In this research, the findings indicate major differences in the relevant criminal law structures, the extent and type of policymaking, and international cooperation at the national level.
Conclusion: While developed countries benefit from advanced and capable mechanisms to guarantee access to healthy nutrition, developing countries face challenges such as weak relevant criminal law systems, resource shortages, and social inequalities that hinder the full realization of the right to nutrition. |
