Definition and Examples
- Definition
- Freedom from war and armed conflict is a human aspiration often reflected in international humanitarian law, which seeks to limit the effects of armed conflict on people and communities. While not always explicitly defined as a "right," various international treaties like the Geneva Conventions aim to protect civilians, prisoners of war, and combatants from unnecessary suffering and violence during times of conflict.
