Application of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law to the Armed Conflicts of the Sudan

Complementary Or Mutually Exclusive Regimes?

The death toll resulting from all the armed conflicts in the Sudan, including south Sudan and Darfur, has far exceeded that of the victims of many recent conflicts combined together; more than those of Rwanda, Former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone and East Timor. Despite the tragic death toll, massive displacement, alleged genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, the Sudanese case has neither featured in the legal literature nor been mentioned in the practice of international Tribunals. This book aims to rectify this by focusing on the Sudans armed conflicts as a case study. Unlike the approach followed in the preponderant legal literature, which tends to focus on International Humanitarian Law as the only applicable regime in armed conflicts, this book brings on board Human Rights Law, which can be applied side by side with International Humanitarian Law. In this sense, it tries to build bridges between the two branches of international law. It focuses on the operation of both regimes at three levels: their scope of application, the protection they afford, and how they can be enforced or implemented. It critically highlights the Sudans laws and how they cohere with or contradict International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law. It particularly examines the Sudans military, criminal and Islamic laws and judicial practices and analyzes them in the light of International treaties ratified by the Sudan. It draws heavily on the practice of regional and UN human rights bodies and humanitarian organizations such as the ICRC. The legal materials included in the book constitute a good resource for future work in the field. Most of the materials were written in Arabic, and hence are unavailable in other jurisdictions. Thus, including them as translated materials will prove to be of great value for those who intend to familiarize themselves with the Sudans laws and practices in this field. With a preface by Jan Pronk, Former Special Representative of the Secretary General of the UN to Sudan.

Gravity of Wisdom in International Law

In this comprehensive work, Malekian introduces the importance of the noble principle of the population of wisdom which relates to the far-reaching foundation of the systems of international human rights law and international criminal justice. This principle is not dependent upon the norm of inequality, nor upon the threat of use of force and the killing of millions, nor does it seek to destroy the truth in order to exploit nations. Malekian trusts that an equitable system of international law based in wisdom can provide a forum for a deeper philosophical understanding of the value of our perception, which struggles to establish quality standards, rather than an exorbitant number of human rights provisions. If international human rights law and international criminal law do not encounter the high moral values as their virtue, they cannot make ethically wise decisions or attain long-term legal efficiency. We may successfully increase the significance of legal disciplines such as human rights law, the law of the United Nations, and the moral capacity of the norm of perception through the magnificent power of wisdom. This book discusses original theories addressing serious questions concerning the ethical, normative, and moral values of human essence on a variety of issues, in order to decrease violations and increase perceptions of true humanisation. The musings on the distinctive values of this book are presented to those who are not afraid to honour the truth. Read the book with a vigilant heart and scrutinise it with an open-minded attitude.
