    La amenaza sin rostro : derecho internacional humanitario y terrorismo
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Tisnés Zapata, Eduardo; Toro Valencia, Jose Alberto
    Since the mid 20th Century, states have begun to abandon confrontations between them. This phenomenon has had several explanations from different perspectives such as military and legal theories. In addition, international treaties have forbidden the unjustified use of force from one state against another, making illegal the start of an international conflict. This prohibition was strengthened by the UN Charter and its requirements for war. However, conflict has not come to an end, it has transformed into a confrontation between legitimate state forces and insurgent groups. These insurgencies have used non-conventional means of war to impose their will. These new means include, among others, terrorist acts, which are prohibited in the course of conflict. As terrorism represents one of the biggest threats to international security, it is important to have a complete unique definition of it, nevertheless, this has been impossible due to the complex international political reality. Now, terrorist organizations have violated International Humanitarian Law as they do not respect rules of conventional conflict. The necessity to reform the legal framework of this modern warfare has become an issue, as state agents are bound to act under International Humanitarian Law when terrorists are not.

    El Derecho Internacional Humanitario en el conflicto armado entre Rusia y Ucrania : importancia, eficacia y desafíos en la protección de la población civil
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Londoño Gómez, Marcela Andrea; Acosta Navas, Juan Pablo
    This research arises from the existing need to analyze the true effectiveness of International Humanitarian Law for the protection of the civilian population, in a political context such as the present one, since an international armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine is taking place, which at the time of this investigation, it has left a balance of 95.000 war crimes. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to go to sources of information such as specialized books on IHL, reports from the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, and, to press sources that allow an in-depth investigation to be carried out. Through this work, it was found that during the armed conflict there has been multiple violations of IHL, affecting the life and well-being of the civilian population. This international legal regime has not been enough to provide real protection to the people protected by it, concluding in the need for a review and consolidation of the international instruments of the law of war to face the challenges of a contemporary armed conflict.
