Summary/Abstract: International humanitarian law aims to limit the destructive effects of armed conflict. This work will point to certain ways of warfare that are prohibited and restricted by international humanitarian law or should be, that is, to the development of their prohibitions and restrictions. The problem of this work is the limitations and prohibitions of the way of warfare according to international humanitarian law, that is, their legal and evolutionary aspects. International humanitarian law aims to limit the destructive effects of armed conflicts, to reduce suffering and destruction to only the necessary measure. Observed throughout history, the first rules of this branch of law dealt with the issue of permissibility or impermissibility of warfare, while over time this issue became more and more relevant due to the increasing destructive effects of warfare and unnecessary destruction in armed conflicts. The subject of the research includes primarily the period from the Hague Conventions adopted in 1907 as one of the first treaty prohibitions from international humanitarian law, up to the state of international humanitarian law today.
