المبادئ التي تحكم العمليات العدائية أثناء النزاعات المسلحة في القانون الدولي الإنساني

Abstract

The increase in the number of wars with disastrous results in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the inability of international legislation and international organizations such as the League of Nations and then its heir, the United Nations, to stand up to the major powers to prevent their expansionist or revenge wars prompted the international humanitarian community to attempt to pass legislation to control the means and methods of war and to determine the permissible targets to be targeted. As accurately as possible to ensure the least possible amount of unnecessary losses and to create the greatest possible measure of protection for civilians as well as for civilian objects, and in that regard some agreements were approved in the modern era, the most important of which is the Hague Convention in ۱۹۰۷, which guaranteed the necessary protection and tried to organize military operations, then approved the four Geneva Conventions since ۱۹۴۹ and its additional protocols and a set of agreements related to the use of specific weapons revolve around controlling war operations and defining their type and method, and include the main treaties that place restrictions on the methods and means of waging war, then ensuring international protection for the victims of armed conflicts.
