BAIK Abstract Purpose – This paper aims to highlight the lacunae in international trade law concerning unilateral economic sanctions that impact food security. Design/methodology/approach – This paper adopts a literature review to establish that unilateral economic sanctions impact food security and a descriptive assessment of a few such sanctions. Thereafter, it adopts doctrinal analysis of such sanctions under World Trade Organization law and identifies the gaps to address the specific situation of unilateral economic sanctions that impact food security. Findings – Unilateral economic sanctions are not effectively regulated under international law. Unilateral economic sanctions are known to impact food security not just in the targeted country but also in third countries. Under international trade law, the security exception under Article XXI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) does not currently require an assessment of necessity and proportionality of measure. However, there is scope for such an assessment in the future depending on the circumstances, particularly if a measure impacts the rights and interests of third countries by impacting global food security. Originality/value – The paper conducts a literature review of the impact of unilateral economic sanctions on food security. It highlights the gap in the interpretation of GATT Article XXI when assessing such sanctions that adversely impact the food security of third countries. The paper may be helpful for academics, policymakers, international organizations, non-governmental organisations, etc. Food security, Sanctions, Security Exception Unilateral economic sanctions NONE Repository Universitas Langlangbuana Sistem Repository Elektronik Skripsi, Tesis, Desertasi dan Penelitian Dosen Universitas Langlangbuana JA101.JITLP23V22.3.9 My Library Unilateral economic sanctions and food security COVER_Journal_of_International_Trade_Law_and_Policy.png.png 2543 2023-12-21 08:57:43 2023-12-21 08:58:04 machine generated
