Abstract

International Humanitarian Law (IHL), also known as the Law of Armed Conflict, governs the conduct of warfare and seeks to limit its effects on civilians, prisoners, and combatants who are no longer participating in the conflict. This paper examines the evolving nature of contemporary conflicts and their challenges in adhering to IHL, including issues such as non-international armed conflicts, drone warfare, and the rise of non-state actors. It explores how IHL has adapted to these challenges and analyzes case studies from Pakistan and other regions. The research highlights the need for stronger enforcement mechanisms and international cooperation to ensure compliance with IHL and protect human rights during conflicts.
