Global Rights Compliance (GRC) is proud to present the first dedicated textbook on the law of starvation, edited by Bridget Conley, Alex De Waal, Catriona Murdoch, and Wayne Jordash KC. This comprehensive volume features contributions from leading scholars and practitioners including Jane Ferguson, Simone Hutter, Oliver Windridge, Mohammad Kanfash, and many others.
The book addresses how famine, once nearly eliminated between 2000 and 2011, has re-emerged as a political and military tool. Recent famines—in places like Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen—are not natural disasters but the result of deliberate acts of war and political repression. These acts include blockades, attacks on health infrastructure, violence against aid workers, and obstruction of humanitarian relief.
