Beyond the massive casualties of armed conflict, war also systemically impoverishes. Markets collapse, services vanish, and livelihoods are targeted or incidentally destroyed. This panel interrogates poverty in conflict zones through a legal lens, mapping how international humanitarian law, international human rights law, refugee law, sanctions regimes and domestic frameworks can sometimes entrench and sometimes alleviate material deprivation. Speakers will examine poverty-producing practices such as siege and starvation, forced displacement, property destruction and gendered barriers to work; the political economy of conflict including illicit trades, corruption and aid diversion; and avenues for redress including strategic litigation, reparations, conditionality and accountability mechanisms.
