LEGAL AND EVOLUTIVE ASPECTS OF RESTRICTIONS AND PROHIBITIONS OF MEANS OF WAR

Summary/Abstract: International humanitarian law aims to limit the destructive effects of armed conflict. This paper will point to certain means of warfare that are prohibited and restricted under international humanitarian law or should be, or to the development of their prohibitions and restrictions. The problem of this paper is the restrictions and prohibitions of means of warfare under international humanitarian law, ie their legal and evolutionary aspects. International humanitarian law aims to limit the destructive effects of armed conflict, to reduce suffering and destruction to the extent necessary. Observed throughout history, the first rules of this branch of law have dealt with the issue of permissibility or impermissibility of means of warfare, while over time this issue has become increasingly relevant due to the growing destructive effects of means of warfare and unnecessary destruction in armed conflicts. The subject of research covers primarily the period from 1868, when the Petrograd Declaration was adopted as the first treaty ban on the means of war and one of the first treaty bans on international humanitarian law in general, all the way to the situation in international humanitarian law today.
