Strengthening the relationship between International Humanitarian Law and the 2030 agenda

Abstract

In today's world, peace, human rights respect, and ensuring a decent life for individuals still represent an objective we strive for. This paper aims to highlight the potential of the two frameworks, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Agenda for Humanity, but more importantly why it is crucial for them to work together to address ongoing conflicts, such as in the Gaza Strip, where both frameworks can tackle a complex cause and promote lasting peace in the region. Thus, the objectives of this paper are to analyze the two frameworks, identify connecting elements for them to work together, and examine the unfolding conflict in the Gaza Strip, particularly in the context of the violation of International Humanitarian Law, the insecurity of civilians in this territory, and the challenges of intervening or alleviating the conflict in this region. Finding answers to these questions will help achieve the goal of identifying how to strengthen the relationship between International Humanitarian Law and the 2030
Agenda and promote lasting peace.
