I mean, the joke of this is in how the UN tried to declare this while so many of it's members were actively using starvation as a weapon against dissidents at home and abroad.

The Saudis have been trying to starve Yemen into submission for decades, ffs. Same with Ethiopia, using starvation against the Tigrea region. Honduras, the Philippines, Pakistan, Haiti, Egypt, Russia.

That's fine. We're still using starvation as a weapon, globally.

Well, yeah. It was basically a symbolic vote.
