Glossary of International Humanitarian Law.

Abstract

The pacifist vocation of Brazil, constitutionally consecrated through the guiding principles of its international relations (CRFB/1988, art. 4, VI and VII), does not avoid the contemporary demand for research related to armed conflicts and the rules imposed on them, provided for in the dogmatic- normative structure of international humanitarian law (IHL). This is not only because Brazil has made international commitments related to this agenda, but also because of its intention to assume a prominent influencer role in the international community. Thus, the proposal of this article is the systematization, in alphabetical order, of the main concepts of a bibliographic review on the subject.
