International humanitarian law (IHL) (also commonly referred to as
the law of war or the law of armed conflict) is the branch of
international law applicable to armed conflicts. IHL restricts the
methods and scope of warfare through a set of universal laws (treaties
and customs) that limit the effects of armed conflict and that protect
civilians and persons who are no longer participating in hostilities.
Within the OAS, the Department of International Law plays an active
role in the advancement and dissemination of IHL in the Americas. In
this role, the Office assists the Permanent Council and its Committees
and OAS Member States on the drafting of resolutions on the promotion
and protection of international humanitarian law in the Americas and
other matters related to International Humanitarian Law.
The Office also coordinates its activities with the International
Committee of the Red Cross in order to support decisions adopted by
Member States on IHL matters. In collaboration with the ICRC, the
Department of International Law also organizes courses on IHL and holds
seminars on IHL in the Americas.
