The international humanitarian law failed because it did not prevent genocide in Rwanda from happening. The U.S. does regret not intervening because they could have saved 300,000 lives in Rwanda. ‘“Humanitarian law” means protecting those who are not fighting as well as those no longer able to. It means laws of armed conflict. In Northern Africa, in the countries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, there is a humanitarian regional response to Syrian refugees. In this article I found on genocidewatch.com https://www.npr.org, 30 people were killed in the Libyan capital of Tripoli because militias were fighting each other in Tripoli. The aftermath is just contributing to more of Libya’s long-running conflict. In Northern Africa in 2021, human rights have not been represented well. There are; rights to health, freedom of expression, right to privacy, human rights defenders and freedoms of association etc. I write these in quotations because people experience conflict with these rights. There are many crimes against women, LGBTQ communities or against people who participate in protests that go unpunished. Rights in Northern Africa are very similar to the UN Declaration of Human Rights but many of them don’t actually get to live out these rights.
