JIB/JAB – Episode 35: Dannenbaum on Sieges, the War Crime of Starvation, and Gaza

By The Laws of the War Podcast featuring Tom Dannenbaum, Professor of international law at The Fletcher School at Tufts University

A discussion with Tom Dannenbaum, a professor of international law at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, on his work on the war crime of starvation.
