International Humanitarian Rights, its importance and application in Colombia
Introduction
In this essay, the concept of international humanitarian law and the importance of the study of this same will be exposed and as when applied in Colombia, the conditions of the internal war that lived and lives the country will also be exposed modern discussions about international rights about international rights humanitarian and how these rights really regulate the ways of fighting in a war and how the life of the population and civil or combatants or surrendered on the other hand exposes some war methods that changed by signing these rights and To end show how these rights act when you are a combatant in Colombia and how this right protects combatants on the battlefield in certain specific conditions and circumstances.
Developing
In Colombia, it is especially relevant to apply humanitarian international rights, since it is a country in which the armed conflict is constant and is in force until today, so their implementation makes the internal war itself not Be more devastating and harm the civilian population, the general function of humanitarian international rights is to regulate and avoid human suffering in times of conflict, whether an internal or international conflict in the sense that the (DIH) limit the methods of war and scope of the same conflict through universal and treaties that limit the catastrophic effects that armed conflicts bring.
For the application of these international humanitarian rights each country had to sign an international treaty in which it is forced to comply with what is raised in it and correctly follow the methods to participate in an armed conflict, an example of these are the Geneva treaties on August 12, 1949 and the inter -American treaties related to the protection of the human person, in all these the protocols and due actions that must be taken in the different cases present by the combatants are proposed in a conflict armed all these protocols are aimed at the protection of the civilian population and its bines that are in the middle of the conflict.
On the other hand, it is extremely important in which the conflict was developed or by the methods and means they used, so the study of international rights is of great importance because as the form of war changes changes, they must also adapt the rules of regulation evolving to protect the civilian population in any case.
As previously shown the importance of the study of international humanitarian rights is absolutely necessary, since as time progresses the war media and methods of an armed conflict change with them for example the use of chemical weapons there is information that presents indications of use of chemical weapons in communities before Christ: “Around 590 (A. C.) Poisonous plants of the HELLEBORUS genus were deliberately used to contaminate the water supplies of the city of Cirra until the discovery of nuclear and biological pumps generating greater damage in an instant, so it is that the constant study of IHLs is from great importance, since the means of war change over time.
On the other hand, in the Colombian context, the dynamic that is carried out by the internal armed conflict in Colombia and the complexity generated and of Human Rights (Human Rights) in the investigation and judgment of military operations, this occurs from the fact that the Colombian Armed Forces were breaking certain parameters of the treaties in the midst of the armed conflict because of this there were debates to which debates began to which I participate in the Brigadier General Juan Carlos Gómez in which I express that “realism must be applied, allowing the encounter between the theory and practice” which opened a great debate about the struggle of the armed conflict in Colombia in an asymmetric war scenario that forces The armed forces to take radical methods against terrorists
Apart from the debates that have been formed around the international humanitarian rights in Colombia, DIH indications can current Currently, traditional armed actors who affected the most in the Colombian armed conflict have been dismantled through treaties and peace agreements: it is the case of paramilitarism (AUC), the FARC and the beginning of the peace dialogues with the ELN in 2017. However, following the above, new organized armed groups begin to structure themselves as priorities in security and defense agendas. Thus, it is necessary, now, in the matter of IHL, two things, conceptualize, characterize and define these new armed groups such as reality (2016) of a criminal nature for the purpose of entering the markets, especially in the trafficking ofDrugs, weapons, people, merchandise and money laundering, the foregoing in order to interpret and apply the IHL in the new war contexts facing the armed forces.
Another important point on international humanitarian rights in Colombia is how these rights work when the person who is respected is a combatant, these types of cases are only given if the combatant in question is injured to the point of not being able to fightmore for which it would be careful of the military forces that arrested him which generates a responsibility in the force of doing the maximum to save his life if he is in a state of gravity with wounds in vital points.
conclusion
Finally, how previously, humanitarian international rights were of the utmost importance in our country, since it lives in a constant war, so the use of these rights to the letter is of great importance, since by not applying it in our Armed conflict The civilian population would further suffer internal war, even so it is a subject too complex to discuss in the context that Colombia lives, since the military forces are fighting an asymmetric war, since being against a Terrorist group is not completely ensured the application of these rights, so the armed forces have a greater challenge when fighting these armed groups organized even after raising this about the unequal war that the Colombian armed forces live, I think that if the event is just to respect the rights even of the combatants when they are surrendering or injured to the point of not being able to fight, since in these two cases s that are raised in international humanitarian rights, the combatant is no longer a threat and life should be respected so that he is subsequently tried legally in court and pays correctly and legally he receives his time in prison.
