Abstract
Abstract The term “laws of war” is generally used to refer to the two related but distinct areas of international law applicable to warfare: thejus ad bellum, also known as the “law on the use of force,” and thejus in bello, also known as either “international humanitar‐ ian law (IHL)” or the “law of armed con‐ flict.” These two areas of law are together crucial for the regulation of warfare.
