To solve this, let’s break down what International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is and what it covers:
1. Step 1: What is International Humanitarian Law?
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is a body of law that aims to limit the effects of armed conflict on people and property. It protects individuals who are not taking part in hostilities (such as civilians and medical personnel) and regulates the means and methods of warfare.
2. Step 2: Focus on Armed Conflicts.
IHL is primarily concerned with the protection of human life and dignity during armed conflicts, including the treatment of prisoners of war and the protection of civilian infrastructure.
