The Sudan Armed Conflict And Geneva Convention On Laws Of War

Abstract

The Geneva Convention establishes guidelines for the conduct of war and the protection of civilians. Nonetheless, the convention is still regularly broken in current wars. This research examines how effectively the Geneva Convention was observed during the conflict in Sudan. The findings reveal several instances of violations throughout the Sudan conflict, such as indiscriminate attacks on civilians, the recruitment of minors, the use of illegal weapons, and even genocidal crimes. It has been established that the Geneva Convention is still applicable, but is routinely ignored in contemporary conflicts such those in Syria, Yemen, and Myanmar. This study concludes that it is crucial for all actors in international system to abide by the dictates of the convention and that those who break them must face the consequences
