Summary/Abstract: Within the framework of this paper I will try to offer a definition of the military objectives, by showing a classification of them. I will present the military objectives encountered in International Humanitarian Law, presenting the objectives specific to land, naval and air operations. In the last part of this article I will address a subject that is causing some dissension at the theoretical and doctrinaire level, namely disguising military targets in civilian objects, focusing on differentiation of military rues of war and acts of perfidy.
