Examining Women's Rights in Armed Conflict From the Persprctive of the International Committee of the Red Cross

Armed Conflicts, despite all the efforts made globally and regionally, still exist. Different groups of people are affected by this phenomenon in dissimilar ways. Women, due to various reasons, are amongst the most vulnerable groups in armed conflicts. Many efforts have been made by the International Committee of the Red Cross to provide maximum support for women in the form of instruments and procedures. Although human rights and international humanitarian rights are considered two separate legal systems, but because in most cases the boundary between them is not properly distinguished and also because of the Committee's practice in recent decades to integrate the two systems during armed conflicts; in the following study, we intend to address the most important principles for protecting women in both international humanitarian rights and human rights, through investigating ICRC's Documents with an analytical approach.
