According to traditional international law, human rights were in principle not applicable to armed conflicts, as the relevant body of law is international humanitarian law.

Abstract
According to traditional international law, human rights were in principle not applicable to armed conflicts, as the relevant body of law is international humanitarian law. In recent times, however, thanks to the evolution of the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice and of regional human rights monitoring bodies (particularly the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights), human rights have been considered fully applicable also to international and non-international armed conflicts, determining a notable improvement in the level of protection of people in situations of hostility.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
