May 22, 2026: Scholar’s Corner announces the publication of an article by Setrag Hovsepian. Here is the abstract of the article provided by the author: “This article examines food insecurity in Armenia through the lens of human security and human rights, showing how surface-level prosperity can obscure deeper structural vulnerabilities. Drawing on scholarship by Gjørv and Gelvin, as well as World Food Programme assessments, it argues that food insecurity is a multidimensional challenge that affects dignity, stability, and everyday well-being. By situating the issue within international human rights law, the article highlights that inadequate access to food constitutes a violation of state obligations and calls for a reframing of national food security debates toward equity and long-term structural solutions.” To read the full article, please visit Scholar’s Corner by clicking here.
