International humanitarian law is a set of rules governed by Geneva and Hague Conventions, jurisprudence and international customary law. It regulates relations between states and protects people who no longer participate or have not participated in conflicts, wounded and disabled, prisoners and civilians. It applies explicitly at the beginning of an armed conflict. There is a difference between international and non-international armed conflicts. In international, at least two states are involved, and the non-international is strictly limited to the territory of a state in which governmental armed forces are involved in fighting against armed groups, or armed groups with each other. The most important work on the humanization of wars was made in the Hague and Geneva Conventions. They derive the most important rules of international humanitarian law: those who are not involved in fights and hostilities should be protected, it’s forbidden to kill a person who surrenders or does not participate in the fight, civilians must be protected, prisoners have to be protected (they are prisoners of state no of an individual), torture and bodily punishments is forbidden, the ways and methods of warfare are limited and lastly, the emblems and staff of Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement have to be respected. The Red Cross is the largest humanitarian organization operating under the rules of International Humanitarian Law. It was created on the idea of Henry Dunant on the first meeting, also known as the “Committee of the Five“. Its goal is to protect the life and offer help to the victims of warfare.
