The role of human rights mechanisms in implementing international humanitarian law (Geneva Conventions)
Le r么le des m茅canismes des droits humains dans la mise en 艙uvre du droit international humanitaire
Hormis le CICR, le droit international humanitaire (DIH) ne contient aucun m茅canisme conventionnel qui fonctionnerait dans la pratique permettant d鈥檈n assurer sa mise en 艙uvre. Les m茅canismes des droits humains peuvent-ils 锚tre mis 脿 contribution, sans diluer les droits humains, ni affaiblir la cr茅dibilit茅 du DIH ? Question particuli猫rement pertinente 脿 l鈥檕ccasion du 70猫me anniversaire des Conventions de Gen猫ve.
