Projects Mobilising Ratification of the Rome Statute Starvation Amendment

Mobilising Ratification of the Rome Statute Starvation Amendment

hero image

Since the adoption of the 2019 amendment to the Rome Statute, which extends the war crime of starvation to non-international armed conflicts, Global Rights Compliance (GRC) has worked to promote its universal ratification and effective implementation. Through legal and policy expertise, GRC supports states in understanding the amendment’s implications, aligning domestic legislation, and strengthening protections for civilians. The project includes the development of a comprehensive ratification guidebook, digital advocacy, and technical assistance to ensure accountability for starvation-related crimes and end impunity for conflict-induced hunger.
