why is the law of war (low) necessary? a. low ensures world peace by preventing wars in the first place. b. without low most wars would never end. c. low provides processes for protecting basic human rights for those affected by war. d. these rules have never been addressed in international agreements.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Law of War (LoW) doesn't prevent wars from occurring in the first place; it regulates conduct during war, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: LoW isn't primarily about ending wars but about regulating behavior within wars, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: The Law of War provides frameworks and processes to protect human rights (like protecting civilians, prisoners of war) for those impacted by war, which is a key purpose of LoW.
• Option D: LoW rules are addressed in international agreements (e.g., Geneva Conventions), so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. LoW provides processes for protecting basic human rights for those affected by war.
