International legal protection of human rights inarmed conflict

International human rights law and international humanitarian law share the goal of preserving the dignity and humanity of all. Over the years, the GeneralAssembly, the Commission on Human Rights and, more recently, the Human RightsCouncil have considered that, in armed conflict, parties to the conflict havelegally binding obligations concerning the rights of persons affected by the conflict. Although different in scope, international human rights law and international humanitarian law offer a series of protections to persons in situations of armed conflict, whether civilians, persons who are no longer participating directly in hostilities or active participants in the conflict. This publication provides a thorough legal analysis and guidance to State authorities, human rights and humanitarian actors and others on the application of international human rights law and international humanitarian law for the protection ofpersons.
