A close look at modern famine shows that, in many cases, food scarcity is not the product of coincidence, but a side effect or result of a deliberate strategy. Starvation is an efficient instrument when used to exert pressure and power, in times of war and peace. Simone Hutter demonstrates how international human rights law and international humanitarian law prevent deliberate starvation as a means of achieving political goals. She focuses on highly divisive and under-discussed instances in which states deploy deliberate starvation domestically, id est within the state’s own national territory.International Humanitarian Law Series46.Right to foodState crimesStarvationRight to foodfastStarvationfastState crimesfastRight to food.State crimes.Starvation.Right to food.Starvation.State crimes.341.76686.80bcl86.92bclHutter Simone1617063NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910820101303321Starvation as a weapon3948086UNINA
