On which convention International humanitarian law is based
International humanitarian law is not wholly based on the Geneva Convention and Hague convention. These laws have expanded and developed further through time and other conventions which are not even part of these conventions also have an impact upon international humanitarian laws and are also a part of it. The difference between human rights and international humanitarian law is that human rights give rights to people in peace and harmony whereas IHL's application comes in time of war and armed conflicts and is in relation to the laws of war therefore a big difference exists between the two.
