The Normative Framework for Criminalizing War Crimes Against Persons in Terms of Comparative Law

The international community has reached a peak in which the development and security of humanity can no longer be addressed individually. In this context, it appears to be empirical to coordinate the efforts of all states to achieve the supreme interests of the international community. The principles and rules of international law relating to the conduct of hostilities, means and methods of combat used in armed conflict are intended to limit the destructive effects of military confrontations and to prevent unnecessary destruction, to humanize the use of force of arms, and to persuade combatants to refrain from excess, beyond any reason and justification. War crimes are condemnable not only from a legal point of view, but also from a moral, ethical or religious point of view, because they represent violations of legal norms, aiming to harm the innocent and unprotected.
