Mass starvation in war is resurgent, devastating populations across numerous contemporary and recent armed conflicts.

Drawing in part on the different manifestations of starvation in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine, Tom Dannenbaum, Associate Professor of International Law at The Fletcher School, in conversation with Professor Janina Dill, Dame Louise Richardson Chair in Global Security at the Blavatnik School of Government, will reflect on international law as it relates to civilian starvation, clarifying the legal framework and identifying challenges to its application.
