Abstract

The rules of international humanitarian law in all international armed conflicts stressed on the need to establish an international mechanism that takes care of the interests of the parties of conflict and the protection of civilians and military citizens of parties of conflict during the period of armed conflict, which was called the system of Protecting State to enable the parties of conflict to continue the dialogue. The Protecting State is a neutral country or another country that is not a party of conflict concerned by one of the parties of conflict, and the opponent accepts it and agrees to perform the tasks assigned to the Protecting State which is to protect the interests of the parties of conflict and their nationals located in the enemy's territory. The Protecting State has wide-ranging tasks in the implementation of the provisions of international humanitarian law under the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and its first additional protocol annexed to it in 1977, whereby the Protecting State is mandated to take care of the interests of the parties of conflict, especially those of prisoners of war and civilians. Therefore, the Protecting State contributes to the direct application of the rules of International Humanitarian Law and supervises the extent of commitment of the parties of conflict to the application of the rules of International Humanitarian Law.
