Feast Or Famine: Do Ethiopians Have A Choice?, Janice J. Bole

Penn State International Law Review

This Comment will discuss whether an international human right to food can exist and, if so, whether Ethiopians have a right to be fed by their government given the circumstances of the current famine. An overview of Ethiopia's political and social environment will be followed by an examination of international human rights law as it is reflected in treaties, international agreements, and the customs and practices of states.
