Summary/Abstract: Social injustice, poor governance, ethnic and religious rivalries, as well as the lack of tolerance of any kind in combination with the struggles to control various natural resources have led to the outbreak of violent conflicts. The origins of armed conflicts lie in a mix of socio-political factors and the accumulation of different tensions fueled by the lack of real dialogue among the actors in the internal and external affairs of states. Having adverse consequences on the living conditions, especially of vulnerable populations, and disrupting the entire public and social system of a state, the armed conflicts often tend to threaten regional and even global security. Once the war became illegal, states were forced to resolve their dissensions without resorting to force and the threat of force. However, in some cases imposed by the socio-historical circumstances, the traditional means of resolving armed conflicts should not be omitted.
