Legal Protection for Victims of Violence against Women in the South Sudan Conflict from the Perspective of Humanitarian Law

The conflict in South Sudan has taken a toll. Not only that, the conflict also caused a very massive violence against women. The occurrence of sexual violence during the conflict in South Sudan increased due to weak state oversight. Not only women, but sexual violence also affects children. Violence against women in situations of armed conflict is generally based on the traditional view that women are property rights, and are often regarded as sexual objects. Humanitarian law represents a balance between the humanitarian needs and military needs of the States. International Law is recognized as a truly universal legal system. States and governments are obliged and responsible to respect and guarantee the human rights of each child regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender, and ethnicity, culture, and language, legal status, order of birth and physical or mental condition. The state and the government are also obliged and responsible for providing support for facilities and infrastructure in the implementation of child protection. Therefore this study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection in a literature review and will go deeper into the Implementation of Humanitarian Law on the protection of Women in the Sudanese Conflict.
