Introduction

The Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) deals with the rules on the conduct of warfare, the rules relating to the rights and dutes of armed forces during a conflict, and the rules that protect potential or actual victims of armed conflict. LOAC is often also referred “international humanitarian law” or IHL.

For a basic introduction to LOAC/IHL, see International Humanitarian Law: Answers to your Questions, published by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
