Paradoxically, on our planet where there are resources and therefore food can be produced to feed all people, hunger exists. It is imperative to draw a distinction between hunger and food insecurity. Hunger can be defined as the discomfort or pain caused by the lack of food. Food insecurity, on the other hand, is defined as the lack of regular access to safe and nutritious food, which is necessary for adequate development and an active and healthy life. Hunger represents the most severe form of food insecurity. The causes of hunger are diverse – economic inequalities, climate emergencies, armed violence. The effects of hunger are multiple, affecting health and life prospects. Based on these considerations, the article aims to highlight some statistics on hunger and some of the actions of the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Food Program to eradicate this serious form of food insecurity.

The European Union is the guarantor of 27 different visions in the field of security and respect for human rights. The European idea has endured for more than 70 years, and the numerous transformations it has undergone, reforms and the integration process are the result of permanent adaptation to the surrounding reality, as well as the will of its equal members. Sovereignty is an internationally recognised and promoted principle, and one of the basic principles of the EU is its recognition of Member States. However, the issue of sovereignty seems to be increasingly threatened by EU policies. Even if the EU acts only within the sphere of shared competences, based on the principle of subsidiarity and proportionality, the policy on the area of freedom, security and justice reveals the most sensitive area of conflict on the issue of sovereignty and respect for human rights. This paper aims to analyse, including from the perspective of the impact of international conflicts, the effects of decision-making at the EU level on the area of freedom, security, and justice policy, and the effectiveness of bringing this policy within the sphere of shared competences between the EU and its Member States. Ultimately, this analysis seeks to address the question of the need for reform of the existing EU treaties, particularly in the areas of civil, criminal, and police cooperation.
