WTO-Agrarrecht, EU-Agrarrecht und das Menschenrecht auf Nahrung

This legal study examines what significance WTO Agricultural Law and EU Agricultural Law on the one hand, and the relationship of these rules to the Human Right to Food on the other, have for global food security. It demonstrates that
• 1. WTO Agricultural Law has negative effects on global food security, and that EU Agricultural Law contributes to this situation,
• 2. from a Human Rights angle as well as from the perspective of Agricultural Trade Law there is the need to respect the Human Right to Food within the framework of WTO and EU Agricultural Law,
• 3. only by utilizing the Human Right to Food as a general criterion for WTO Agricultural Law and EU Agricultural Law, can these rules contribute positively to global food security and to the achievement of their respective objectives,
• 4. there are practicable guidelines as well as harmonization instruments to effectively and practically implement the (extraterritorial) obligations deriving from the Human Right to Food.
