The "Corn War" is a trade fight between the United States and Mexico over Mexico's ban on genetically modified (GMO) corn for human food.

The "Corn War" is a trade fight between the United States and Mexico over Mexico's ban on genetically modified (GMO) corn for human food.


The Main Problem

  • Mexico passed a decree to stop using GMO corn in tortillas and dough.
  • Mexico says the ban protects public health, food security, and native corn biodiversity.
  • The rule still allows GMO corn imports for animal feed and industrial uses.


The U.S. Reaction

  • The United States states that the ban breaks free trade rules.
  • The U.S. claims the restrictions lack strong scientific proof and hurt American farmers.
  • A trade panel under the regional trade agreement was set up to review the dispute.
  • You can read a detailed legal analysis on the Cardozo Law Review.

Would you like to know more about the health arguments or the specific trade rules involved in this dispute?

THE RIGHT TO WORK

THE RIGHT TO WORK 

This right may subsume the right to free choice of employment; the right to protection against unemployment; and the right to protection against discrimination in employment 

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (UDHR) 23(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment... and to protection against unemployment 

ADOPTION: 1948 by the UN General Assembly (UNGA). UDHR was adopted by forty-eight Member States, without dissenting vote, but with eight abstentions (Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Eastern Europe). At the time of signing very few of the 56 Member States were Less Developed Countries (LDCs) compared with 124 of the current UN membership of 159 states. 

ENTRY INTO FORCE: UDHR was not originally intended to create binding obligations in international law on UN Member States, but was conceived as the first stage in a 3 part International Bill of Rights, to consist of a declaration, a legally binding convention, and measures of implementation. The GA proclaimed UDHR as "a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations' (Preamble) but its current juridical status remains controversial, and is relevant to those states which are not yet party to the later human rights treaties.

DROITS DE L'HOMME ET TRAVAIL | LA PROTECTION DU TRAVAIL EN DROIT INTERNATIONAL | Partie 1 

LE DROIT DE TRAVAILLER 

Ce droit peut englober le droit au libre choix de l'emploi ; le droit à la protection contre le chômage ; et le droit à la protection contre la discrimination dans l’emploi 

DÉCLARATION UNIVERSELLE DES DROITS DE L'HOMME (DUDH) 23(1) Toute personne a droit au travail, au libre choix de son emploi... et à la protection contre le chômage 

ADOPTION : 1948 par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies (AGNU). La DUDH a été adoptée par quarante-huit États membres, sans voix dissidente, mais avec huit abstentions (Arabie saoudite, Afrique du Sud et Europe de l'Est). Au moment de la signature, très peu des 56 États membres étaient des pays moins développés (PMA), contre 124 des 159 États membres actuels de l'ONU. 

ENTRÉE EN VIGUEUR : La DUDH n'était pas initialement destinée à créer des obligations contraignantes en droit international pour les États membres de l'ONU, mais a été conçue comme la première étape d'une Déclaration internationale des droits en trois parties, devant consister en une déclaration, une convention juridiquement contraignante et des mesures. de mise en œuvre. L'Assemblée générale a proclamé la DUDH comme « une norme commune à atteindre pour tous les peuples et toutes les nations » (Préambule), mais son statut juridique actuel reste controversé et concerne les États qui ne sont pas encore parties aux derniers traités relatifs aux droits de l'homme.
