Abstract

The scope of studies and research on the right to food security has expanded in recent decades. Its legal and ethical dimensions have been considered by researchers in legal studies. Food security as a human security component has become one of the most important human rights issues in every country in the world. The issue of the relationship between transgenic food products and their positive or negative role in ensuring each person's right to food security and to meet their own nutrition needs and their families is currently been regarded. While advocates of this new technology speak of its constructive role in providing food security, Its critics disagree of eating transgenic foods because of the dangers which may be create for the health of people. According to the opposition, the production of such products not only does not provide food security but also violates the right to health of individuals.
