In and Around War(s): Season 3, Episode 4: Food Insecurity in Armed Conflict
In this episode of the In and Around War(s) podcast, Yousuf Syed Khan, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council, joins Academy Research Fellows Eugénie Duss and Francesco Romani to discuss the legal issues surrounding food security in armed conflict, as explored in our recent IHL in Focus Spot Report on Food Insecurity in Armed Conflict and the Use of Siege-Like Tactics.
After examining IHL rules on starvation, objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, and humanitarian assistance, they address current developments and prospects for their enforcement at the international level, particularly in relation to the work of fact-finding commissions, the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice.
