Summary
This Thesis is a scientific study of legal nature in the area of international humanitarian law. The aim of international humanitarian law, in an objective sense, is not to prevent war, but to reduce its destructive outcomes, to mitigate the sufferings it causes and to eliminate unnecessary damage and losses, so to ensure human rights protection in case of armed conflict.
The search on origin and evolution of international law shows that firstly there were the rules of humanitarian protection in the event of war. In the second half of the nineteenth century, on the basis created by the humanitarian law, international law is beginning to consistently concern with the issue of human rights. Today, what indissolubly unites the two branches of international law (international humanitarian law and international human rights law) is the common sole purpose of protecting the individual through imperative rules for reasons of humanity, the way of their app lication being what distinguishes them.
Taking into account the topi cality of this theme, the complexity and multilateral character of the investigation in question, the aim proposed was to establish and comprehensively research the international regulations, particularly those of international humanitarian law, through the modalities of international protection of human rights during armed conflicts.
Depending on the aim pursued, the author tries to show that there are various ways to protect human rights during armed conflicts, namely: • immediate protection of certain categories of persons or goods in case of armed conflict, ascribing to this the protection of the sick and the wounded, the castaway, humanitarian protection of prisoners of war, protection of cultural goods, of civilian population and civilian persons in the event of armed conflict.
• ensuring human rights by banning or limiting the use of certain means and methods of
fighting and reduction of armaments.
• human rights protection through prevention and repression of war crimes, crimes
against humanity and genocide in armed conflicts.
Particular attention in the paper is given to the institution of international responsibility
and the role of the International Committee of the Red Cross in delivering humanitarian
protection.
In the context of reviewing the methodological, theoretical and scientific basis, the
author comes up with conclusions and proposals to improve the legislative framework
in the field.
