Summary

This chapter discusses international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) which apply concurrently in armed conflict, but differ in scope and purpose. Their relationship is reviewed by looking at the right to life, the right to a fair trial, arbitrary detention and military responses to terrorism. The chapter then considers derogations from IHRL and the issue of the IHRL obligations of armed groups, particularly in NIACs. Similar issues are discussed regarding peacekeeping operations.

This article briefly overviews some of the current and future challenges to NATO legal interoperability arising from the relationship between international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law generally and between IHL and the European Convention on Human Rights in particular.
