International laws govern state behavior in conflicts by establishing norms and standards that guide conduct, aiming to mitigate violence and promote peace. These laws encompass principles outlined in treaties, conventions, and customary international law, addressing issues like human rights, war crimes, and conflict resolution. Compliance with international law can enhance a state’s legitimacy and moral standing, while violations may lead to sanctions or international condemnation. The framework of international law seeks to balance state sovereignty with a collective responsibility to maintain global order and protect vulnerable populations.
