La décision de la Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge de commé-morer le 50e anniversaire de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme est à la fois logique et louable. Cela, étant donné, d'une part, la mission de la Revue, qui est de promouvoir et d'encourager le respect du droit international humanitaire en temps de conflit armé, et, d'autre part, la convergence croissante entre cette branche du droit et le droit des droits de l'homme. Ce dont témoigne le remplacement progressif du terme «droit de la guerre» par celui de «droit international humanitaire».

La iniciativa de la Revista Internacional de la Cruz Roja de conmemorar el 50° aniversario de la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos es acertada y digna de elogio, dado su cometido de promover y hacer respetar el derecho internacional humanitario durante los conflictos armados, así como de fomentar la convergencia de ese derecho con el derecho de los derechos humanos —como se infiere de la progresiva sustitución de la expresión «derecho de la guerra» por la de «derecho internacional humanitario».

The decision of the International Review of the Red Cross to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is both understandable and commendable, given the Review's mission to promote and strive for observance of international humanitarian law during armed conflicts and the increasing convergence of that law with human rights law — as evidenced by the gradual substitution of the term "international humanitarian law" for the term "the law of war".
