Abstract

The participation, and protection, of women and children in armed conflict is one of ‎the important issues of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and Islamic Law. Both ‎IHL and Islamic Law provide extensive rules about the protection and participation ‎of women and children in armed conflict. Principally speaking, both of these legal ‎regimes discourage participation of women and children in armed conflict and oblige ‎the belligerent parties to protect women and children in armed conflict. The issue ‎gets complicated when women and children participate in armed conflict which. The ‎participation of them in armed conflict implies a number of legal implications. This ‎paper makes an attempt to discuss the protection of women and children in armed ‎conflict. It also discusses the legal implications of participation of women and ‎children in armed conflict under IHL and Islamic Law. ‎
