The Effectiveness of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in the Environmental Protection at Armed Conflict Areas

Abstract

The essential need for human protection and care for the survival requirements at all times is the main motive that encouraged the researcher to write this paper. Man is the essence of life, and the basis of his survival is his sense of security and peace and guarantees his freedoms and respect for his dignity at all times. As human rights expand, this is reflected in the provisions of international humanitarian law, which is one of the most important branches of international public law, because it is closely linked to human. It has thus far saved millions of people provided that they abide by this law and abide by its rules and provisions.This paper aims to identify and determine whether the provisions of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) are beneficial to the protection of the natural environment through the collection of previous studies and consideration of conferences, treaties and international conventions dealing with international humanitarian law.
