He cited a plethora of treaties to reinforce his stance and elucidated more on armed conflict and its principles under International Law.
He discussed deeply on what armed conflict is and also articulated its principles. He highlighted the aims and objectives of International law which include Peace; Security, Relations, Rights, stating that it chases away threat force and provides for peace and world protection.
