Abstract
Some acute problems of the international humanitarian law are revealed in the article. These problems are connected with the usage of new forms of war in contemporary armed conflicts which cause incredible suffering of the civilians and they are a challenge to the international humanitarian law of nowadays. The relevance of the topic of the research is stipulated by recurring armed conflicts in various regions of our planet. New forms of hostilities and modern military technologies are used and they cause untold misery all around the world. When creating the norms of the international humanitarian law, the concept of the «armed conflict» was explained simply. Thus, the armed conflict could be internal when the citizens of one state wage the war. And it could be international when the citizens of different states are at war. However, a modern armed conflict can be started without declaring it. It can be carried out using armed bands, groups or mercenaries and can be conducted in several other dimensions, for example, in information and economic space. Such armed conflict has received another term in contemporary world – «hybrid warfare» which doesn’t exist in the international humanitarian law. In this regard, the norms of the international humanitarian law are difficult to apply and this, in turn, makes it impossible to bring the perpetrators to international criminal responsibility.
