REGIMUL JURIDIC AL COMBATANŢILOR CARE BENEFICIAZĂ DE CONDIŢII SUPLIMENTARE DE PROTECŢIE
THE LEGAL STATUS OF COMBATANTS WHO BENEFIT FROM AN ADDITIONAL REGIME OF PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: In contemporary international armed conflicts, military forces composed of children (persons below 18), are widely used. Conventional rules of international humanitarian law allow the use of minors in the hostilities, provided that such a person is over 15 years. The representatives of this group of participants in a conflict are considered combatants if they are qualified to the conditions of this status and benefit from a supplementary protection regime, which also applies to women participating directly in military operations in a modern armed conflict. The essence and content of supplementary protection regime established for these categories of participants is the subject of research of this article.
