*There have been reports of Japanese soldiers eating the organs of Chinese soldiers and prisoners of war during the [[Rape of Nanking]].

*During the last few years of the Second Congo War, various rebel groups carried out a campaign of [[genocide]] and [[ethnic cleansing]] against Mbuti pygmies known as ''[[Effacer le tableau]]'' ("erasing the board") and multiple reports document instances of rebels hunting down and eating the pygmies, allegedly because they believed them to be "subhuman." Sinafasi Makelo, a representative of Mbuti pygmies, successfully appealed to the United Nations Security Council to recognize cannibalism as both ~~an act of~~ [[~~genocide~~]] and a [[crime against humanity]].

*[[DINA]], the [[secret police]] of Chile during the [[Augusto Pinochet]] regime, were widely renowned for their extreme sadism and brutality. There are documented reports of DINA forcing prisoners of the [[concentration camp]]s they ran to cannibalize other prisoners when they died as a form of psychological [[torture]].

*There are widespread oral reports, and some official documentation, of cannibalism being practiced in various forms during the Great Chinese Famine (a product of dictator [[Mao Zedong]]'s "Great Leap Forward") from 1959 to 1961. Due to the scale of the famine, the resulting cannibalism has been described as "on a scale unprecedented in the history of the 20th century".
