How International Law Works in Global Conflicts

What rules apply when nations go to war? Who decides what is legal—or illegal—in global conflicts? And why do powerful countries often seem to escape accountability? In this video, we break down how international law actually works during wars and armed conflicts, using real-world examples like Ukraine–Russia, Israel–Hamas/Gaza, and Yemen. From the UN Charter and Geneva Conventions to the role of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ), we explain the legal framework that governs modern warfare. 🔹 When is the use of force legal under international law? 🔹 How are civilians protected during war? 🔹 What are war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity? 🔹 Why is enforcement of international law so difficult? 🔹 Do global powers really follow these rules? This video is perfect for students, law enthusiasts, current affairs followers, and anyone trying to understand today’s global conflicts through a legal lens
