Event Details
A global food insecurity crisis looming, hunger being driven to famine levels, fields and farm machinery attacked and besieged city civilians drinking snow and looking for animals to cook. Yet starvation as a war crime still rarely hits the headlines. The use of starvation as a deliberate tactic in today's conflicts has been on the rise since 2017, from Yemen to Ukraine, South Sudan to Tigray to name just a few. Accurate reporting is critical, investigations and accountability are demanded.
In this unique event the Frontline Club and Global Rights Compliance will walk the audience through the most common factual situations and peel back the layers of law and politics surrounding starvation. Friends such as Bellingcat and field journalists will share their experiences in reporting and investigating starvation.
