Humanitarian aid to the victims of internal conflicts. Meeting of a Commission of Experts in Geneva
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 January 2010
Extract
Article 3 common to the four Geneva Conventions constitutes a striking affirmation of humanitarian protection.
Out of respect which is due to the individual, the States parties to these Conventions have in fact accepted to limit, to a certain extent, their liberty of action as regards their own nationals in the case of internal conflicts. International law has thus managed to penetrate a field hitherto exclusively reserved to internal law and the International Committee of the Red Cross has been especially mentioned as being capable, under certain conditions, of acting as guarantor for such protection.
