In recent years, the international community has been accentuating importance of the protection of the environment more and more. However, the utmost attention is devoted to its protection in peace times or to protection as such in general. In relation to armed conflicts, it is submitted that we used to observe only a partial enhancement. Nonetheless, this approach changed rapidly in the first half of 2022, when the International Law Commission completed almost a decade of work on the Draft Principles of Environmental Protection in Relation to Armed Conflicts. This is quite a significant shift, as the subject output of the Commission provides a comprehensive treatment of the aforementioned issue. Without any deviation from this path, it is exactly an analysis of the Commission Proposal itself – first in the light of the overall adoption process, preceding its next part, taking into account the Resolution of the General Assembly from December 2022, which has become the main goal of this contribution. In turn, the question of the impact of the Commission Proposal toward the future will be addressed briefly as well.
