With the expansion of national interests and the rise of non-traditional security threats, task fulfillment of non-war military operations has gradually become an important way for application of military forces. The non-war nature of non-war military operations has made it beyond the traditional scope of the armed conflict law. Some non-war military operations, due to their similarities in characteristics and forms to warring military operations, sometimes cause acts and consequences similar to military operations. Therefore, it is urgent to study the application of non-war military operations to the armed conflict law on limiting means and methods of military operations and imposing humanitarian protection of subjects and carefully discuss by international law researchers of various countries in non-war military operations.
