PROTECTION OF THE CIVILIAN POPULATION INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW DURING MILITARY CONFLICTS

The article examines the impact of the population's educational level on the formation of human capital and economic growth. The purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the international legal regulation of the protection of civilians in armed conflict based on the provisions of the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I in order to identify the specifics of the legal status of protected persons and substantiate ways to improve the mechanisms of international control over compliance with international humanitarian law. The relevance of the research stems from the need to increase the efficiency of human capital use in the modern knowledge economy. The work aims to quantify the relationship between the population's educational characteristics and key macroeconomic indicators. The object of the study is human capital in the national economic system; the subject is the influence of the level of education (the proportion of the population with higher education, the average duration of education, the quality of educational institutions) on its added value, labor productivity, and economic growth. The paper examines the lack of understanding of the quantitative relationships between the qualitative characteristics of education and their economic effects. The methodological basis of the research consists of correlation and regression analysis, as well as comparative analysis of statistical data. The tools used enable the identification of the degree and nature of the influence of educational factors on economic development. The results of the conducted research can serve as the basis for research using panel data by region, as well as for an in-depth study of the impact of investments and technologies on human capital. As a result of the study, it was found that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between education level and labor productivity, as well as between human capital and economic growth. It has been shown that improving the quality of education and increasing the duration of training contribute to the growth of the added value of human capital.
