Abstract
Today, every war is considered to be against international law. Any threat or use of force between the member states of the United Nations and their international relations is fundamentally prohibited. The only exception to the rule is the right to self-defense and violence committed within the framework of sanctions decided by the UN Security Council. However, the assessment of wars and violence has not always been this way. Also due to Clausewitz and his reception described above, war was long considered a continuation of politics by other means. This only fundamentally changed in the course of the 19th century. Since then, a number of international conventions have been concluded. They regulate compliance with humanitarian international law in the context of armed conflicts and serve to protect people who are wounded, prisoners of war, and civilians who do not participate in the fighting. The history of humanitarian international law is interesting in itself, but also provides valuable insights for our context.
