Abstract
.Although the most prominent actors in terms of creating and developing law are states; And bodies that have state jurisdiction, such as international courts and tribunals. However, armed groups may issue, on occasions when they enter into armed conflicts, specific commitments that may serve as a special law within the context of an armed conflict. These commitments may explain in detail the obligation of the relevant armed group to comply with international humanitarian law. Or the Geneva Conventions, or special rules stipulated in the commitment, and those commitments may oblige that group to adhere to international standards, and sometimes they exceed international standards, or violate those standards in some respects, and although these obligations are often overlooked, those groups Armed forces provide specific lessons for the law of armed conflict that can help in its development, noting that the idea of non-governmental actors participating in the process of legislating laws, including in particular the rules of international humanitarian law, meets with opposition from states, given the states’ perceptions of the illegitimacy of those actors and the threat they pose. Its formation, but its existence has become a reality that must be dealt with.
