Conflict is the leading driver of acute food insecurity globally.

 

The interconnection between conflict and hunger is well-recognised in various legal and policy frameworks that range from International Humanitarian Law to UN Security Council Resolution 2417 and the Rome Statute Amendment (2019). Despite this, conflict-induced hunger has been rising for at least seven years.

 

This suggests that there is a gap between rhetoric and practice, as well as between knowledge and application of the law.
