Authors : Maamri Lobna .

Abstract

International humanitarian law grants civilians (people and individuals) general protection against the dangers arising from military operations. The civilian population as such, as well as civilian persons, may not be the object of attack. Acts or threats of violence aimed primarily at spreading terror among the civilian population are prohibited; attacks are also prohibited. indiscriminate and deterrent attacks against the civilian population or all civilians. Among the most important recommendations reached by this study; The United Nations must be urged to take practical measures on the ground to ensure the prohibition of deterrence attacks against the civilian population or civilian persons, as well as to work locally to form a specialized legal committee to examine the mechanisms of approaching international justice and the consequences of that before going to the court with jurisdiction (the Court International Criminal).
