The Main Issues and Problems of the Application of the Norms of International Humanitarian Law
Abstract
The article analyzes the basics of compliance of the provisions of international humanitarian law and compensation for harm caused by a violation of norms of international humanitarian law, describes problems in redress, and reveals the types of compensation and support. The norms of international humanitarian law are investigated. Contemporary international humanitarian law IHL meets the requirements of modern international relations, but there are problems that require some processing, they include: problems of improving the effectiveness of IHL; problems of protecting civilians during hostilities. The article discusses international legal liability and compensation for harm, which play a key role in ensuring peace, order and stability. The paper analyzes numerous agreements regarding the protection of civilians during armed conflicts. Much attention is paid to the issue of the lack of a mechanism for pre-trial settlement of damages caused as a result of a violation of international humanitarian law. It also refers to such a problem as the lack of a prisoner of war exchange institution. Despite the existence of such an institution in practice, it requires legislative consolidation and improvement of legal norms related to the regulation of prisoner of war rules. The conclusion is drawn on the need for further steps to codify and progressively develop international humanitarian law, to strengthen the regime for the implementation of its norms applicable in armed conflicts of an international and non-international character.
