Summary/Abstract: This paper will deal with the restrictions and prohibitions that exist regarding the use of weapons of mass destruction. International humanitarian law aims to limit the destructive effects of armed conflict. There are constant efforts to reduce suffering and destruction in armed conflicts to only the necessary measure. This paper will point out the consequences of the use of weapons of mass destruction, that is, the terrible suffering they cause, as well as the current situation in the international community regarding its prohibition and restrictions. The problem of this paper is to establish the limits of what is permitted and what is not permitted under international humanitarian law regarding weapons of mass destruction, as well as to determine the scope of those restrictions and prohibitions and their observance in practice. The work will determine the very goals of organizing and banning these weapons and their future reach.
