FAQ
Principles of the laws of war Military necessity, along with distinction, proportionality, humanity (sometimes called unnecessary suffering), and honor (sometimes called chivalry) are the five most commonly cited principles of international humanitarian law governing the legal use of force in an armed conflict.
What are the 4 rules of law? The four rules of law are accountability, open government, just law, and accessible and impartial justice. These ensure that government officials are not above the law, that decisions are transparent, that laws are fairly designed, and that the law is impartially enforced.
Under the principle of distinction, all involved in the armed conflict must distinguish between the persons thus defined (the combatants) and civilians.
This historical precedent has inspired the military manuals of other countries and the subsequent codification of IHL. The principle of military necessity requires that a party to an armed conflict may resort only to the means and methods that are necessary to achieve the legitimate aims of the armed conflict.
It then presents the four fundamental principles of the law of armed conflict, which serve as the foundational framework for any analysis of rights, obligations, and privileges in situations of conflict: military necessity, humanity, distinction, and proportionality.

Treat all persons who fall into your hands humanely and protect them from the dangers of war. Care for the wounded, including enemy wounded, on the basis of medical priority. Obey all combat rules (see below). Use no more force than is necessary to achieve your operational task.
All personnel must be aware of the basic rules of the law of armed conflict, including the practical application of the principles of military necessity, proportionality, distinction and humanity.
The law of armed conflict is a branch of international law, the law that States have agreed to accept as binding upon them in their dealings with other States. As well as governing relationships between States, international law applies to the conduct of hostilities within a State.
