Resumen

By examining their philosophical and legal underpinnings and evaluating the function of international legal norms and institutions in reducing the humanitarian effects of armed conflicts, this study investigates the instruments for humanizing armed conflicts within the framework of international law. Along with the function of international organizations and international criminal justice, the study focuses on international humanitarian law and international human rights law as the main tools for humanization. It also provides a critical evaluation of these instruments' efficacy and prospects for the future, highlighting the primary obstacles they face in modern armed conflicts.
