1 Published on How does law protect in war? - Online casebook ( Home > Human Rights applicable in armed conflicts While IHL is applicable in armed conflicts only, International Human Rights Law is applicable in all situations. However, all but the non-derogable provisions may be suspended, under certain conditions, in situations threatening the life of the nation. As the latter do not only include armed conflicts, the complementarity remains imperfect; in particular, a gap exists in situations of internal disturbances and tension. OUTLINE Chapter 14.
