Starvation as a weapon of war occurs when food supplies are obstructed by warring parties.

Starvation as a weapon is not only a war crime, but it may also qualify as a method of extermination.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines extermination as “the intentional infliction of conditions of life, inter alia the deprivation of access to food and medicine, calculated to bring about the destruction of part of a population.”
