dc.description.abstractWar or armed conflict, the technically preferable general term, represents a major breakdown of the "normal" conduct of International relations. It is also, tragically, a recurrent feature of the modern world and provisions are accordingly made for its occurrence in public international law. The provisions comprises principally the jus ad bellum relating to resort armed forces in conduct of international relations and the jus in bello, relating to constraints upon actual conduct of hostilities, and forms the subject matter of this directed research. Events such as the armed conflicts in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Great Lakes region, and the former Yugoslavia confront us day after day with the cruelty of war and the suffering, death and destruction it causes. They also raise an obvious question: is the behaviour of the belligerent parties subject to any limitations? The answer to this question is not hard to give: such limits do exist, even though they may not be entirely unequivocal in all cases. To the extent that they belong to the realm of law (rather than that of morality alone) they constitute the body of "International Humanitarian Law applicable in armed conflict". The purpose of the essay will, therefore, be to examine the role played by international tribunals in the enforcement of international humanitarian law and other related laws.en_US
