Everyone in the era of globalization knows that international relations are influenced by the oil economy. That said, the oil trade has become a main activity of the world's peasants. From where countries this resource is sought became a threat.
It should be noted that the problem of oil continues to be on the agenda in international society and is not limited to technological or economic developments but also to political dimensions. Which is to say that oil helps to determine the hierarchy of state power. That is why, it serves to make war in other words a source of some conflicts of the world.
This present work illustrates the case of the war in Libya where NATO intervention was behind oil and gas.
Libya is a coveted country, its oil and gas, a great wealth with reserves estimated at 44 and 46.4 million barrels, the largest in Africa. This country occupies an ultra-sensitive position on the hydrocarbon market, without forgetting its crude which is of excellent quality or its activities are close to the most important European refining centers of the world.
Force is a revision that this war, that the UN under the resolution to overthrow the regime of Gaddafi, because it had become a threat to the interests Western.
Which brings to understand that, this war had nothing with the protection of civilians advocated by the West, but it was directed against the Libyan guide in the person of Gaddafi and also against China for the oil and gas.
During eight war months, the effects are perverse, not only the violation of the humanitarian international law, but also the human rights. Within the framework of our work, we try to demonstrate that the main principles of the humanitarian international law were not respected. The attacks of belligerent parties including the foreign strengths were not within the limits of means of fight in particular the use of a tank T-55 in Benghazi and in other cities of the country. As for the method of fight, the hostilities took place during the late hours which talked of massive destructions without saving hospitals and schools, also most victims are civil persons. It is impossible to stop or better to forbid the belligerent parties to wage war because of the conflicting human nature, but the regulations or the mitigation of the latter are possible through the notion of the humanitarian international law, in other words law of war. It is a right to wage war for a just cause by observing certain regulations such as the principle of the right humanitarian worker which stipulates that the respect for the human person and its blooming will be assured in all the compatible measure with the law and order in wartime with the military requirements.
