Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 EP 2: Famines & Starvation
Q: Can evidence from humanitarian data (like IPC projections) be used in court to establish culpability for starvation?
Yes, if properly interpreted, humanitarian projections and warning data can support arguments about failure to act and culpability, but it requires robust evidentiary standards and careful handling of intelligence and data quality to avoid misattribution.
S2 EP 2: Famines & Starvation
Q: How does international law currently address starvation, and what are its limitations?
Law on paper prohibits starvation in both international and non-international conflicts, but enforcement is hampered because starvation is often produced through complex, interlinked systems rather than single acts; proving intent and attributing responsibility across multiple actors remains a major challenge.
S2 EP 2: Famines & Starvation
Q: What explains the persistence of famines in the modern era despite advances in health and economic development?
Participants argue that famines endure largely due to political actions, war, and system-level deprivation rather than natural causes, with deliberate or strategic choices by authorities turning hunger into a weapon, and with historical narratives sometimes obscuring these political drivers.
S2 EP 5: Civilian Harm
Q: What is civilian harm and why does it matter beyond a narrow legal definition?
Civilian harm includes direct harm (death and injury) and broader indirect and compounding harms (economic loss, trauma, displacement) that accumulate over time. It matters because it shapes conflict dynamics, accountability, and democratic oversight, and because law alone cannot capture all dimensions of harm.
S1 EP4: Negotiating with Armed Actors
Q: How does civilian agency manifest in the context of armed conflict?
Civilians often utilize personal networks, opportunities for negotiation, and even unethical means to navigate their survival within conflict zones, demonstrating a complex interplay between agency and coercion.
