Jus in Bello

Jus in Bello refers to the set of rules that govern how wars are conducted to ensure humanitarian treatment and minimize suffering. It is part of international humanitarian law and focuses on the conduct of combatants during conflicts. Key principles include the protection of civilians, the distinction between combatants and non-combatants, proportionality in attacks, and the humane treatment of prisoners of war. The aim is to balance military necessity with humanitarian considerations, ensuring that even during armed conflict, there are limits to what is permissible.
