Definition

  • Throughout history and across the world, warring parties have recognized restraints on the conduct of hostilities. By the end of the 20th century, two distinct yet closely related bodies of law had emerged, one known as Geneva law, for the protection of war victims, and one known as Hague law, dealing with means and methods of warfare.
