1.5 Interplay between IHL and Other Branches of International Law

1.5.1 IHL and International Human Rights Law The lex specialis question: the armed conflict's special law (IHL) vs the human rights' continuation (the HR course's U6.3 face — the ICJ's advisory doctrine: the rights continue, some read through IHL's standards). The differences: the IHL's equality of parties (no just-side) vs the rights' universality; the derogation vs the IHL's non-derogable core; the overlap's practical questions (the detention in conflict, the fair trial in occupied territory). 1.5.2 IHL and International Criminal Law The enforcement's branch: the grave breaches-and-war crimes (U5.1's catalogue) prosecuted through the national courts (the universal jurisdiction) and the international tribunals (U5.4-5.5's line from Nuremberg to the ICC). The relationship: the IHL defines, the criminal law prosecutes — the individual responsibility (U5.2) as the IHL's teeth. 1.5.3 IHL and International Refugee Law The conflict's displacement face: the refugees' flight from the war (the 1951 Convention's well- founded fear — often the conflict's product); the IHL's own displacement rules (the forced transfer's prohibition); the IDPs' world (the Guiding Principles — the HR course's U6.4 face); the Nepal record (the conflict's internal displacement — U5.7's case study).
