摘要

饥饿是行为人阻碍受害者获得维持生命的必需品时故意剥夺食物的行为。纵观历史,饥饿曾被许多过去的政权用作种族灭绝的一种形式。它被用作迫使受害者投降的一种方法,或在战争期间作为一种军事策略。根据拉斐尔·兰普金的定义和联合国《种族灭绝公约》的分类,种族灭绝是对人类最具破坏性的罪行之一,是蓄意消灭某一种族、宗教或社会群体的行为。本文的目的是研究饥饿对认知、心理和精神方面的直接和持久影响。在目前对Artsakh的封锁中,在Artsakh地区,也称为纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫地区,阿塞拜疆和(未被承认的)Artsakh共和国之间产生了争端。自2022年12月12日起,来自阿塞拜疆的生态学家封锁了连接Artsakh与世界的唯一通道Berdzor (Lachin)走廊,从而阻止了燃料,药品和食品的运输。俄罗斯维和部队驻扎在阿尔察赫走廊;然而,阿塞拜疆政府加强了封锁,无视俄罗斯维持和平人员的呼吁。在这篇文章中,饥饿对人体认知、心理和精神功能的影响与历史上的种族灭绝有关。饥饿和营养不良的影响是非常有害的,会导致长期的影响,并会破坏大脑中基本营养物质和神经递质的平衡,如血清素和多巴胺。营养不良还会损害认知功能,导致疲劳、虚弱、烦躁、记忆力差和注意力缺陷等症状。饥饿引起的血糖水平波动和激素失衡会影响情绪调节,增加患情绪障碍的风险。对阿尔察赫的封锁可能对受害者的心理健康造成严重的短期和长期损害。自从250多天前发生封锁以来,已经发生了有害的损害。该条强烈呼吁国际社会立即对这一封锁采取行动,并帮助防止今后发生种族灭绝。关键词:饥荒,种族灭绝,Artsakh,封锁,Lachin走廊,生物活性化合物,功能食品

The Impact of Food Deprivation and Starvation on Mental Health: Blockade on Artsakh (Nagorno - Karabakh)
Starvation is the deliberate deprivation of food that occurs when perpetrators impede the victims from accessing the necessities to sustain life. Throughout history, starvation had been utilized as a form of genocide by many past regimes.  It is used as a method to enforce a surrender from the victim or as a military strategy during warfare. Genocide, one of the most devasting crimes against humanity, as defined by Rafael Lempkin and categorized by the United Nations Genocide Convention, is the deliberate attempt to annihilate a certain ethnic, religious, or social group of people. The purpose of this article is to examine the immediate and lasting effects of the cognitive, psychological, and mental aspects of starvation. In this current blockade of Artsakh, a dispute arises in the Artsakh region, also known as the Nagorno-Karabakh region, between Azerbaijan and the Republic (unrecognized) of Artsakh. Since December 12, 2022, ecologists from Azerbaijan have blocked the Berdzor (Lachin) Corridor, the only route that linked Artsakh to the world, thus preventing the transportation of fuel, medicine, and food. Russian peacekeepers have been stationed at the Corridor in Artsakh; however, the Azerbaijan government has consolidated its blockade and has disregarded the appeals made by the Russian peacekeepers. In this article, the effects of starvation on the cognitive, psychological, and mental functioning of the human body are presented as they related to historical genocide. The impacts of starvation and malnutrition can be highly detrimental, leading to long-lasting impacts, and can disrupt the balance of essential nutrients and neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. Malnourishment also impairs cognitive function, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, irritation, poor memory, and attention deficit. Fluctuating blood sugar levels and imbalanced hormones caused by starvation impact emotional regulation and increase the risk of developing mood disorders. The blockade of Artsakh could potentially cause both severe short term and long-term damage to the mental health of the victims. Since the blockade occurred more than 250 days ago, detrimental damages have already occurred. This article strongly calls upon the international community to take immediate action against this blockade and help prevent future genocide. Keywords: Starvation, Genocide, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), blockade, Lachin corridor, bioactive compound, functional foods
