- Abstract
International humanitarian law is international treaties, international customs or general legal principles governing armed conflict with the main objective of protecting human beings. This study was made to analyze the violations of the Russian war in the Ukraine conflict in 2022 but based on the perspective of International Humanitarian Law. This study uses a descriptive analytical method but is still based on normative law that uses laws and regulations to analyze Russian war violations that occurred in the Ukrainian conflict and are also connected and related to events that occurred during the conflict. In addition, this research is also supported by books, journals, online newspapers, online news, or articles. From the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there were several violations that occurred during the Russian war in the Ukraine conflict, including committing war crimes based on the Hague conventions of 1899 and 1907, violating the 1998 Rome Statute which is an international agreement related to armed conflict, using cluster bombs that is one of the bombs that are prohibited from being used under the International Treaty on Cluster Bombs in 2008. It can also be concluded that the Russian war in the Ukraine 2022 conflict is an armed conflict known as the international armed conflict which is specifically part of international humanitarian law which formerly known as the law of war, which in this law of war is aimed at the protection of innocent civilians or civilians from unnecessary suffering due to war. This is based on the fact that most of the victims of armed conflict are innocent civilians such as children, women or the elderly.
