Protecția drepturilor omului în contextul conflictelor armate - aspecte socio-juridice și câteva reflecții

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present, for the interested reader, some reflections on the issue of human rights protection in the context of (post)modern armed conflicts. The recent conflict in Ukraine bears the socio-political and legal features of both types of wars – modern and postmodern. The concern of the (post)modern international system for human rights is being put, for the first time in many years, in Europe, in the face of a ‘classic’ scale war. This brought a theoretical shock and a change of paradigm. For the last 20 years, Western analysts have been talking about the changes in the nature of war, or in the functions of the military, and „prophesied“ a better degree of protection for civilians from the direct and indirect effects of armed conflicts.
