Summary/Abstract: Endangering people's lives are very present in all areas of social life, especially in armed conflicts. Armed conflicts persisted despite the great progress of human civilization. True, they have received a second physiognomy, but they still relate human lives and inflict suffering. More recently, aspirations have been expressed that give armed conflicts a different dimension, leading to an increase in civilian casualties relative to the military. International law on armed conflicts provides general but also special protection to certain categories of persons.
