Direitos humanos e comércio internacional: a necessidade da construção de pontes por meio da segurança alimentar e os novos desafios da OMC

Abstract

This article focuses on understanding the possible dialogues between fragmented fields of international law, in a dialectic approach, wherein human rights and international trade occupy conflicting poles. Therefore, it becomes the basis for one of the Millennium Development Goals outlined in the framework of the UN, more punctually at the issue of development, food security, which is both a universal human right contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Covenant Civil and Political Rights of 1966, as thematized rounds of negotiations in the World Trade Organization. Finally, it is considered that the WTO can play a role inclusive, albeit limited, in the convergence between human rights and international trade.
