Wealthy Nations Fuelling Unrest

A UN official accuses a government of a "crime against humanity." The government representative shoots back angrily that the policy will not change.

The issue erupting so intensely is not ethnic cleansing, torture, or even terrorism. It is the production of biofuels.

The UN official was Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food Jean Ziegler, who told German radio last Monday production of biofuels for ethanol drives up food prices. Government subsidies and environmental regulations induce farmers to switch from growing crops for food to biofuels instead.
