Since when did it become apart of international policy to allow governments to starve their citizens? What if a countries leaders refuse humanitarian aid decide to deny any possibility of diplomacy or negotiations?

If diplomacy is the preferred option to war then people should talk faster. Why would it take 10 years or longer to decide that the people starving in their country unnecessarily is unacceptable? If the leaders don't know that already then someone needs to tell them, if words aren't fast enough then maybe fists would be more expedient?
