The article examines the application of the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) to the modern warfare, in particular, to the asymmetric confl icts. The purpose of the article is to fi nd out what are the main challenges, which are faced by the IHL in the conditions of the modern warfare. The ongoing confl ict in Syria, which started in 2011, is used as a case study. It shows the real challenges to the IHL and undermines its effective application during the armed confl icts. Thus, the IHL should be developed and modifi ed in the scopes of new types of warfare
