Estudio del CICR, sobre el derecho internacional consuetudinario

Abstract

As of December 1995, the XXVI International Conference of the Red Cross and the Red Half Moon endorsed such a recommendation and  officially asked the ICRC to prepare a brief about the common regulations of the humanitarian international law applicable to both international and non-international armed conflicts. Almost ten years later, in 2005, after a detailed investigation and several consultations with experts, a brief known as “A Study of” the Common International Humanitarian Law,” has been published, (from now on, the “Study”). The aim of the Study about the Common International Humanitarian Law was to overcome some of the problems which give rise to the application of the Conventional International Humanitarian Law. This particular law, which is well developed and covers several aspects of the war, provides protection to different categories of people in times of armed conflict and limits the warlike means and methods which have been permitted
