Ann Garrison: Francis Boyle, you're an expert in international law, including subsets, international human rights law, and international humanitarian law. Francis A. Boyle: There is a subset of international human rights law that is called international humanitarian law.

The term “international humanitarian law” was invented by experts who didn’t like identifying as experts on the laws of war. And international humanitarian law prohibits starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare.
