WH AT IS WAR?
War is a state of armed conflict
between two or more nations, states,
groups. It is often characterized by
the use of military force, such as
combat, bombing, or artillery
shelling, with the objective of
defeating the enemy or achieving
specific political or territorial goals.
The prohibition of certain means and methods
of warfare is an important principle of
international humanitarian law, also known as
the law of armed conflict. This principle
prohibits the use of weapons and tactics that
are likely to cause unnecessary suffering, and
aims to limit the effect of armed conflict and
protect civilians and combatants who are no
longer taking part in hostilities.
