Abstract

The work was developed within the theme of international humanitarian law (IHL). The research was based on several renowned authors and articles in electronic media. The objective of the article is to show within the current context, based on the applicability of the International Law of Armed Conflict (DICA), the differences and similarities of Military Operations in an Urban Environment and the Operation of Guarantee of Law and Order (GLO). The definitions of the dignity of the human person were briefly addressed, based on the increase in the protection of the human person over the years, the historical evolution of international humanitarian law and the international law of armed conflicts. The legal basis for GLO operations, its relationship with Complementary Law No. 97/1999, and the use of International Humanitarian Law and DICA with urban combat operations were explained.
