THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFE ZONES IN PROTECTING CIVILIANS DURING INTERNATIONAL AND NON-INTERNATIONAL ARMED CONFLICTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The essay highlights the critical importance of establishing safe zones to protect civilians during both international and non-international armed conflicts. It begins by emphasizing the role of safe zones in ensuring civilian safety amidst the chaos of war. The discussion further explores the significance of these zones in allowing humanitarian organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to operate effectively. The ICRC's adherence to neutrality and the necessity of negotiated consent among conflicting parties are pivotal in maintaining the security of civilians and humanitarian personnel within these zones.
