International humanitarian law refers to the rules of international law designed for the protection of the individuals in time of war or armed conflict (see Parry and Grant, Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law, 3rd). The documents and resources listed in this subcategory link to various Hague and Geneva Conventions, and national and multilateral treaties. International humanitarian law increasingly considers the international community's interest and involvement even in armed combat within nations such as civil wars or ethnic conflicts.
