The sources of international humanitarian law are primarily derived from:
1. International treaties and conventions: Treaties such as the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols, as well as other international agreements, form the basis of international humanitarian law.
2. Customary international law: Customary international law is formed by the consistent practice of states over time, which is considered legally binding. Many principles of international humanitarian law have become customary law through widespread state practice.
3. General principles of law: General principles of law recognized by civilized nations are also considered sources of international humanitarian law.
4. Judicial decisions and teachings of highly qualified publicists: Decisions of international courts and tribunals, as well as the writings of legal scholars and experts, contribute to the development and interpretation of international humanitarian law.
