Title

International Human Rights Law and Its Distinctions from International
Humanitarian, Criminal, and Refugee Law



Introduction

International law is a vast system of legal rules and principles governing the
relations between states, international organisations, and, in certain contexts,
individuals. Within this system, International Human Rights Law (IHRL)
occupies a central place as a body of norms aimed at protecting the dignity,
freedom, and equality of all human beings. While IHRL is interconnected with
other branches of international law—such as International Humanitarian Law
(IHL), International Criminal Law (ICL), and International Refugee Law
(IRL)—each area has a distinct scope, purpose, and operational context.

This essay critically defines IHRL and provides a systematic comparison with IHL,
ICL, and IRL, highlighting overlaps, differences, and the practical significance of
these distinctions in both peacetime and conflict situations.



1. Definition of International Human Rights Law

International Human Rights Law is the body of international norms designed to
protect and promote the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and groups
against violations, primarily by their own governments, but also in certain cases by
non-state actors.

Its core features include:

1. Universality – Rights apply to all human beings without discrimination.
2. Inalienability – Rights cannot be legitimately taken away except under
specific, lawful circumstances.
