Armed conflicts that concern humanity are crimes against humanity. Armed conflicts are one of the most urgent problems of political science. Even though international law has adopted conventions on this crime and imposed sanctions, the world's powerful countries use violent means to pursue their national interests more quickly and effectively, and those countries do not even hesitate to shed the blood of innocent people. War has always been one of the urgent problems of humanity since the emergence of social class to our time. In this regard, the main goal of our research is to examine international armed conflicts, which are among the most important problems of conflictology, with a complex approach. In the article, the nature of political conflicts, more precisely, international armed conflicts, which are a type of foreign political conflict, the reasons for their occurrence, and the main characteristics have been studied. Armed conflicts were reviewed from a political and legal point of view, and the definition of international armed conflicts was given according to the UN charter and international humanitarian law conventions (Geneva and Hague). Thus, since 1949, Article 2, specific to the four Geneva Conventions, defines an international armed conflict that triggers the application of humanitarian law. According to International humanitarian law, an international armed conflict is considered to be an armed conflict between two or more states that are parties to the Geneva Conventions, as well as cases of occupation of all or part of the territory of a participating state, wars of national liberation. In a broad sense, International armed conflicts include military-political conflicts and war. In the article, the main features and types of military-political conflicts and their differences from other armed conflicts, especially war, are analyzed and investigated. Types of military-political conflict such as military annexation, military incident, military provocation, invasion, and aggression were considered, and the essence of war was explained.
