In recent years,the rapid development of the international community,the international community environment has undergone rapid changes,but the armed conflict has never stopped.Both armed conflicts between States and regional armed conflicts have brought devastating damage to civilians in conflict areas,especially among civilians as vulnerable groups in the most vulnerable to armed conflict,not only by violent attacks,Suffering from tragic killing,based on their gender particularity will be subject to various forms of sexual assault by militants,so that the civilian women's physical and psychological are suffering from serious or even irreparable trauma.The behavior of militants violates the humanitarian spirit of war ethics and violates the provisions of international law.How to protect women's rights in armed conflict remains a topic of concern to the international community.The existing international humanitarian law,international human rights law and customary international law provide for the protection of women's rights:the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Women in Time of War in the International Law on the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Rights of Women in War and Armed Conflict General protection and special protection are made in detail,but the majority of their protection is the right of pregnant women,mothers,mothers,and so on,for the civilian women,still only enjoy the same general protection with men,and did not give special protection,So there are some flaws;International human rights law is more detailed and systematic,but international human rights law applies only to the protection of civilians in peacetime,and in the event of armed conflict,international human rights law can not fully play its role;international customary law on international humanitarian law And to ensure that all acts of sexual violence,especially rape,sexual slavery,forced prostitution or forced pregnancy,are prohibited and are prohibited,and that the protection,health and assistance of women affected by armed conflict are given special care and that These acts,in special circumstances,can constitute gender-based war crimes and give explicit protection to women's sexual power.The shortcomings of international humanitarian law in the protection of women's rights in armed conflict are mainly manifested in imperfect legislation,lack of trial and enforcement mechanisms for violations of women,and shortcomings in international humanitarian relief.In view of the defects of protection,the author puts forward perfect suggestions on legislation,human rights protection mechanism and international humanitarian organizations,and hopes to hold the responsibility of historical criminals.I hope that through this study,in the future armed conflict can better protect women's rights and reduce the harm of civilians.
