Abstract

The protection of civilian and cultural objects and the refusal to direct attacks
against them is a pillar in international law to protect them and provide the
necessary protection to groups who are not directly involved in the fighting or are
unable to participate. Accordingly, international humanitarian law is described as
the law of armed conflict, meaning that it is applied in time of war, whether the
conflict is international or Not international. States and individuals are obligated to
apply the rules brought forth by international humanitarian law, as they are of a
mandatory nature, and international humanitarian law has prohibited indiscriminate
attacks, prohibits acts of coercion, torture and collective punishment, and prohibits
retaliation, hostage-taking and population deportation, and because humanitarian
law protects the civilian population in general, it is considered the best method To
provide protection to victims of conflict
