The general objectives of this research are to define the international conflicts and its possible manners of solution, and to examine the situation of the human rights of the victims of these conflicts, according to Humanitarian International Law. The research is justified in that the primary objective of International Public Law is to safeguard international peace, security and public order, and because these conflicts produce imbalances that alter the ends pursued in this discipline; so it is important to unite interstate efforts in order to minimize the consequences produced by the same, especially regarding human rights. The research is documentary, with some use of the analytic-descriptive method. The conclusion is that: International conflicts are intrinsic to humanity; however recently international diplomacy partially fulfills its objectives, since it minimizes the consequences (humanitarian, material, etc.) of these conflicts. - In all international conflict, first peaceful diplomatic resources should be used to find solutions to the conflict, and to avoid warlike confrontation. At this moment, we continue violating the victim’s human rights in armed conflict, and the mechanisms and International Treaties as to Humanitarian International Law in order to protect the human rights of the victims.
