The Role of the UN Security Council in Upholding International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Principles during Non-International Armed Conflicts in the Last Decade

Introduction

International Humanitarian Law (IHL), also known as the laws of armed conflict, is a set of rules and principles that seek to mitigate the suffering and protect the rights of individuals during armed conflicts. IHL applies to both international and non-international armed conflicts, although the enforcement of its principles in non-international conflicts poses unique challenges. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the principal organs of the United Nations responsible for maintaining international peace and security. Over the last decade, the UNSC has played a significant role in upholding IHL principles during non-international armed conflicts. This essay explores the role of the UNSC in upholding IHL principles during non-international armed conflicts, highlighting key developments, challenges, and areas of improvement.
