PROTECTION OF REFUGEES IN POST-ARMED CONFLICT SITUATIONS

International Law, Human Rights

This article charts the interlinking of the regime governing the international protection of refugees in post-armed conflict situations through the spectrum principles of humanitarian law and human rights law. Armed conflicts often have an economic and social impact, it may also result in unprecedented movement and displacement of civilian population. A war zones and conflict areas generate a large number of refugees by forcing them to flee to other countries for the safety of life and liberty. Development of refugee law in armed conflict reflects the cross fertilization of international law, as the whole problem of refugees are dispersed in the normative framework of international humanitarian law, refugee law, and human rights law. This fragmentation rather than facilitating the process have led to complexity in implementation of the legal norms. This paper ventures into cross fertilization of international humanitarian law and refugee law through the lens of international human rights law. The paper explores the collective security and approaches to cross fertilization of international law in a post-pandemic world.
