Abstract

The authors examine the existing IHL rules and principles concerning the protections afforded to humanitarian workers and health care workers in armed conflict. They argue that for the effective protection of affected communities much more should be done by all those engaged in conflict including ending impunity for attacks on humanitarian relief workers and materiel, and medical personnel, supplies and facilities, as well as the encouragement of further debate and discussion on the topic.KeywordsArmed ConflictRome StatuteGeneva ConventionAdditional ProtocolHumanitarian WorkerThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
