Abstract
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is a set of norms applicable in times of armed conflict designed to protect people who are not, or no longer, participating in hostilities, as well as to limit the means and methods of warfare. It is part of public international law and divides into two branches: (i) Geneva Law (Red Cross Law), which aims at protecting the defenseless and (ii) Hague Law, which establishes limits to the conduct of military operations.
