Abstract

Abstract:
International humanitarian law (IHL) is a system of rules that govern the relations
between states as belligerents in the event of war or another type of armed conflict.
The rules that make up the system of IHL are applied from the beginning of the
armed conflict until its end and until the consequences of that armed conflict
continue. The main objective of IHL is to make armed conflicts as inhumane as
possible by preventing excessive casualties, human suffering and material
destruction that are not in service of the achievement of the military objective.
This paper aims, by elaborating on the situation with the military actions in
Ukraine, to show whether and to what extent IHL is respected by both parties
involved in the conflict. The intention will be to consider the human dimension of
IHL and what can be achieved by balancing military needs with the needs of
humanity.
