#PSA: #LawOfWar is being discussed more often with #CurrentEvents and #Journalism over the past two years.

#Wikipedia has an excellent article introducing you to the topic, with many resources. The #Law of #War regulates initiating #warfare ( #JusAdBellum - what justifies starting a conflict) and how it is conducted ( #JusInBellum - what you cannot do while warring.)

Their point is to mitigate the hardships of war.
