The Yemen Accountability Project (YAP) at Case Western Reserve University School of Law has published its second white paper, “Starvation: Building the Case for Prosecuting Starvation Crimes in Yemen.” The 51-page document examines evidence from 2015 to 2018 that illustrates patterns of widespread attacks on civilian objects indispensable to survival, such as food production and water supply, and outlines avenues for bringing charges against perpetrators of these crimes.
This publication is the product of three years of work by the YAP team, and follows last year’s successful release of the white paper “Aiding and Abetting: Holding States, Corporations, and Individuals Accountable for War Crimes in Yemen.”
