Abstract

This article discusses the importance of regulating the use of animals in armed conflict considering the uncontrolled use of animals can threaten the lives of humans and animals themselves by determining certain limits that are allowed in war. The use of animals in war demonstrates human limitations and human dependence on other species. International humanitarian law focuses solely on the protection of humans and ignores the issue of how animals join the army in war and can be targeted by the military. In fact, animals are additional actors who contribute to the disputes of mankind today. Although military technology continues to develop with sophisticated equipment, it is undeniable that some of these special abilities can only be possessed by certain species. In essence, humanitarian law regulates two main points, namely regarding the means and methods of warfare (means and methods of warfare). Therefore, the interest of animals to be free from pain and suffering must be recognized as a value in the legal system, where there is a need for consideration of animal welfare and relevant interpretations to develop norms in other ways that refer to situations where suffering is a legal form of animal exploitation. Keywords: armed conflict; war; animal use; humanitarian law.
