Harwita Sari Drajat

Abstract


War victim protection is a critical aspect of international humanitarian law, as highlighted by the 1949 Geneva Conventions. This article explores the implementation of the 1949 Geneva Convention on the Protection of War Victims in modern conflicts, addressing both the challenges and prospects for the future. It delves into the legal safeguards provided by the Geneva Conventions and their relevance in contemporary warfare. Additionally, it examines the intricate relationship between international and national laws in the context of war victim protection. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the role of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in enforcing these conventions and ensuring accountability for violations. In conclusion, it underscores the importance of strengthening war victim safeguards in modern conflicts and offers recommendations for enhancing the implementation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
