Strengthening international humanitarian law protecting persons deprived of their liberty

أ) أهداف التعهد

Mindful that deprivation of liberty is an ordinary and expected occurrence in all situations of armed conflict, and international humanitarian law sometimes dictates that military necessity may be more proportionately and humanely served through States’ use of non-arbitrary detention than through the use of lethal force, deeply concerned that persons deprived of their liberty in relation to armed conflict are vulnerable to murder, forced disappearance, the taking of hostages, torture, cruel or inhumane treatment, rape and other forms of sexual violence, and disregard for their basic needs, the EU and its Member States will strongly support the drafting of an outcome document to enhance the legal protection of the detained persons in Non-international Armed Conflict.
