International humanitarian law is a set of
rules which seek, for humanitarian reasons, to limit the
effects of armed conflict. It protects persons who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and restricts
the means and methods of warfare.

for the promotion of hypoxia (nitrogen asphyxiation) as the most humane method of carrying out state-sanctioned executions.
