III. Essay (10pts each)

1. What is the importance of IHL in the means and methods of warfare?

The methods and means by which war is waged are controlled by
international law. These restrictions apply to the types of weapons used,
how they are used, and how everyone involved in the armed conflict acts
in general. Parties to an armed war must always differentiate between
soldiers and military aims on the one side, and civilian individuals and
objects on the other, and strike only valid targets as a result of the
concept of separation.

2. What would be the consequence of the wide availability of small arms

and light weapons?
Humanitarian consequences of the wide availability of small arms and
light weapons are;
 1. increasing level of violence, in particular in non-international
armed conflicts (when citizens continue to use weapons even
unnecessarily there will be unpleasant incidents, such as just
unexpected chaos somewhere, having everyone hurt or sometimes a
worst scenario) .

2. Increased likelihood of violations of IHL (having a violation

of international humanitarian law, a country is required to control the
availability of a weapon in an area so as not to have an unforeseen
disturbance or incident.)

GOODLUCK!
