International Humanitarian Law And International Human Rights Law; Similarities And Differences

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6

Abstract

Both the international humanitarian law (IHL) and human rights law have developed with the objectives of protecting human being and their dignity, yet some dissimilarities can be found between these two bodies of international law. Many issues are dealt by IHL what are not considered by IHRL, for example, the conduct of hostilities, the status of prisoners during war, the protection of some emblems, signs and so on. Alternatively many matters are consulted by IHRL which are not subject matters of IHL, for example, freedom of thought, right to movement, right to assembly and others. This paper is an effort to identify the similarities and dissimilarities between IHL and international human rights law (IHRL).
