Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Due to the numerous armed conflicts between nations and governments based on, cultural and religious factors, the idea of peace and human rights have always been one of the main aspirations of civil activists. Accordingly, the international community,particularly in the 20th and 21th centuries, has tried to reduce the loss of life and property caused by the hostilities in various way.In this respect,one of the most important efforts has been the enactment of laws and regulations under the humanitarian rights and making the Governments involved in armed conflict to respect these rules. It is clear that armed conflicts do not have inflict humanitarian rights,but the question that is raised here, is that what are the effect of armed conflict on human rights? And whether upon the occurrence of an armed conflict, international law and humanitarian actions would be able to stop violations of human rights and encourages the enforcement of human rights. A theoretical analysis of the relationship between human rights and armed conflict, this article tries to show that the rules of human rights are supplementary rules of humanitarian rights during the armed conflict and the outbreak of an armed conflict is not a license to suspend human rights.
