THE PROVISIONS OF OBLIGATION IN INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW: BETWEEN REALITY AND ASPIRATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
International humanitarian law serves as a cornerstone for the protection of human rights during armed conflicts, both international and non-international. However, the effectiveness of this legal framework hinges on states' adherence to its provisions. Scholars hold differing views on the binding nature of international humanitarian law, with some arguing that it supersedes domestic law while others consider it to be of equal status. Ensuring compliance with international humanitarian law requires states to undertake various measures, including domestication and harmonization, as well as specific responses to violations, such as severing diplomatic relations or expelling diplomats. Moreover, international organizations, including non-governmental organizations, play a pivotal role in preventing violations of international humanitarian law and promoting state compliance through diverse strategies.
