Laws of War

Laws of War, also known as International Humanitarian Law, are rules designed to limit the effects of armed conflict. They aim to protect people who are not participating in fighting, such as civilians, and to restrict the ways and means of warfare. These laws prohibit targeting civilians, torture, and the use of certain weapons. They also set standards for the treatment of prisoners and the conduct of military operations. Overall, the Laws of War seek to balance military necessity with humanity, promoting dignity and reducing suffering during conflict.
