The rules for caring for POW's made at the international conference at Geneva, Switzerland was called the Geneva Conference. The rules established the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment of war. The rules state that prisoners of war shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, color, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
H.L.A Hart, in the "Concept of Law", questions whether international law is really law because it has few rules regarding how international law can be made or changed. This weakness is illustrated in part by the uncertainty surrounding how a customary rule of international law emerges and then when that rule has changed. Not only it is difficult to identify customary rules but, as with other rules of international law, and as opposed to national laws, there are also few mechanisms to enforce and make states obey them. Critically discuss the above propositions.
International humanitarian law (IHL), often referred to as the laws of war, the laws and customs of war or the law of armed conflict, is the legal corpus comprised of the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions, as well as subsequent treaties, case law, and customary international law. It defines the conduct and responsibilities of belligerent nations, neutral nations and individuals engaged in warfare, in relation to each other and to protected persons, usually meaning civilians. The law is mandatory for nations bound by the appropriate treaties. There are also other customary unwritten rules of war, many of which were explored at the Nuremberg War Trials. By extension, they also define both the permissive rights of these powers as well as prohibitions on their conduct when dealing with irregular forces and non-signatories.
Humanitarian Law Project was created in 1985.
International Human Rights Law (see International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights). Also, International Humanitarian Law (see Geneva Convention IV) governs certain aspects of imposing the death penalty in occupied territories.
Of course it is. Public international law are rules that concern relations between Government(al organization)s and civilians, with an international dimension. The rules can be developed in multilateral treaties and as you know, a treaty is a form of law. Therefore public international law is law. Even unwritten laws such as customary law of countries or cultures are perceived as legitimate laws.AnswerInternational Law is not law in the same way as domestic law is law. Countries that allow international law to be broken by their citizens in their borders are free to prosecute or ignore at their discretion.
