What are the principles of international humanitarian law? | IHL | ICRC

International humanitarian law (IHL) sets out rules for once war happens. States set-up these rules to protect the civilian population from hostilities.
IHL is built on three principles: Distinction, Proportionality and Precautions. All of which need to be respected for an attack to be lawful.

Good

[@nyakurusuma]

i think we need a russian version. they didnt get this right :)

[@Kaldrin]

Why is war in itself not illegal ? That would be way faster to ban this practice than to give it rules no? These rules feel very hypocrite like why are you even considering authorizing wars

[@JASPERBERTRANDURQUICO]

It is though, UN Charter, Article 2, Par. 4.

[@syedabulfarah4295]

Parties of International Armed Conflict and Non-International Armed Conflict and the UN are taking new strategies in armed conflict.

How to bypass: Win the war and blame your enemy so they get the blame instead

[@lualdan5709]

I think those principles are effective on the weak nations

[@favourikpeazu-graceboy8076]

Please I want to identify with an IHL club

[@yahyashaikhworld]

Proportionality is not correctly explained

[@andrewmpereira868]

How so? It covers the main concept of weighing the military advantages foreseen to be obtained by the attack (military necessity), over the loss and damage of civilian life or property. What in your opinion do you think should have been explained more?

[@Iphonmm]

In reality, Wars break all rules not mentioning such principles of Human rights which seem to be so vulnerable, technical-oriented, and so non-authoritative.

[@A5tr0101]

No one can enforce these rules, look at Russia and Hamas

[@MegaLotusEater]

Most significantly, look at Israel.

[@miarayxoxo]

I still cannot comprehend how people who have watched video on IHL still forget not mention Israel. Just hilarious.

[@mrbowtieguy]

Latino's are not Greeks nor

[@LuiCypher]

Well, russia doesn't follow the rules!

[@ashutoshsrivastava8810]
