What is Food Security

Chapter 10
Fighting for Empowerment in an Age of Violence
To guarantee the food security for all, all people should have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for healthy life. The DPRK citizens have long been suffered by the food insecurity, as more than half of the total population is currently being food insecure.

Vulnerability Assessment of the DPRK's Responsiveness to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Human Rights Challenges and Pathways to Greater Adherence to Human Rights Norms

Abstract
According to the 2021's Global Health Security (GHS) Index, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) ranked 193rd among 195 nations. Upon the COVID-19 outbreak, the DPRK promoted a national vaccine strategy of “our style.” The Kim Jong Un regime has rejected the corona vaccine aid offered by the international COVAX initiatives claiming that there were zero COVID-19 cases in the DPRK. Furthermore, the DPRK has not allowed the staff of any international humanitarian aid organization to enter the DPRK since 2020 due to COVID-19-related border restrictions. These extreme measures have further exacerbated state-led human rights violations, particularly in connection with the health of its citizens. Based on this analysis, this chapter will provide proposals as to pathways the international community may take to induce positive behavioral changes concerning human rights implementation as they relate to the health of the DPRK's citizenry.
