| Abstract | ||||
| International Humanitarian Law, like any other law, remains a dead letter if states parties do not take the necessary legal and practical measures to ensure its implementation during armed conflicts, and there is a reason to be keen on applying international humanitarian law more than other laws, as this law must be applied in international and internal armed conflicts, where human lives are at great risk, as is known if a doctor makes a mistake causing the death of one person (the patient), while if a military leader makes a mistake, he may kill hundreds even thousands of people. International humanitarian law should be implemented first and foremost by the States parties to the conventions that make up this law. The States parties to the four Geneva Conventions and the two Additional Protocols have undertaken to respect and ensure respect for this convention in all circumstances. Violations of this law are more serious than the violation of any other law, as these violations lead to human suffering and loss of human lives that could have been avoided if the law prohibiting them had been known and put into effect. The imposition of penalties on violators of this law is an integral part of any sound legal system, especially because of its deterrent value To study international humanitarian law and the protection of refugees, this research will attempt to define the concept of international humanitarian law and its sources, as well as the general and specific protection of refugees. | ||||
