The World Agreed to Stop Using Food as a Weapon. It Hasn’t. - Council on Foreign Relations

The Council on Foreign Relations reports that the international community, despite prior agreements, has failed to prevent the use of food as a weapon. This indicates a significant breakdown in global humanitarian norms and commitments established to protect civilian populations during conflicts. The continued weaponization of food exacerbates humanitarian crises, leading to widespread starvation and displacement in affected regions. This failure undermines international efforts to ensure food security and prevent famine in war-torn areas.
