Summary/Abstract: The codification process of international humanitarian law generally differs from the codification process of public international law. This specific situation is dictated by the fact that the founding states of the UN from the very beginning did not reach a consensus on the importance of codifying existing “laws and customs of war” and recognized at the customary level, due to misinterpretation of the two terms — jus ad bellum and jus in bello. In this context that the cooperation between the UN and the ICRC, the latter as the depository of instruments of international humanitarian law, must be viewed and analyzed. At the same time, with the end of the “Cold War”, there has been a common approach and approach by the UN and the ICRC on international humanitarian law in the light of contemporary interpretations of the field, in the context in which the “core” of human rights is a priority for both mentioned international organizations, organizations that represent a qualitative index for other regional international organizations.
