The modern concept of international humanitarian law has developed over the last few Decades to describe what was Earlier Referred to as the jus in bello, the law of armed conflict or the laws of war. It is important to distinguish between the rules applicable during armed conflict - Thejus in bello - and the law Relating resort to force, that is, Thejus ad bellum. The latter is regulated by the United Nations Charter. The idea of rules to Regulate armed conflict is almost as old as conflict itself, and is Recognised in religious texts such as the Koran and the Bible, as well as the Writings of ancient scholars and philosophers. Already in ancient times rules existed to Regulate the conduct of warfare the which over time evolved into customary rules. The beginning of modern international humanitarian law in the sense of the modern movement to codify and develop international customary law Dates back to the middle of the Nineteenth century. The process of drafting and Adopting rules has mainly taken place in The Hague and in Geneva. The so-called Hague law is concerned with the means and methods of warfare whereas the Geneva law is concerned with the protection of individuals.
