القانون الدولي الإنساني

Abstract

International humanitarian law is a branch of public international law that seeks to reduce the tragedies and suffering resulting from armed conflict by establishing a set of rights for individuals, whether civilians, military personnel or members of groups in conflict, as the case may be; to this end, a set of obligations are imposed on parties to the conflict, whether states or groups, which must be respected during military operations. Given the armed conflicts that Libya has been the scene of and the threat that still exists, this research paper aims to present this law and the obligations it imposes on the parties to the conflict and the rights it establishes for individuals that all parties to the conflict must respect, in order to avoid legal responsibility for the violations they may commit, which exposes them to criminal prosecution at the local and international level, With this in mind, the first part of the research defined international humanitarian law, explained its sources and the most important principles on which it is based, and determined the relationship between it and international human rights law. In the second part, the scope of application of this law was determined: in terms of subject matter, place and persons.
