What is the difference between IHL, human rights law and international criminal law?
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International human rights law (IHRL) are bodies of international law that share some of the same aims. Both protect the lives and dignity of individuals. IHL only applies to armed conflicts. IHRL always applies. Whether during peace or war.
International criminal law (ICL) regulates serious atrocities and specifies how States need to act to find and prosecute people who have committed such serious violations.
