1 note page 76 By “international humanitarian law applicable in armed conflicts” the ICRC means international rules, established by treaties or custom, which are specifically intended to solve humanitarian problems directly arising from international or non-international armed conflicts and which, for humanitarian reasons, limit the right of parties to a conflict to use the methods and means of warfare of their choice or protect persons and property that are, or may be, affected by conflict. The expression “international humanitarian law applicable in armed conflicts” is often abbreviated to “international humanitarian law” or “humanitarian law”.
