D. DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND HUMANITARIAN LAW VIOLATIONS Under restricted circumstances, such as during periods of ‘public emergency’ (which may be declared in situations of armed conflict), States are allowed to impose some limitations on the rights afforded to individuals under international human rights law.32 However, even in those circumstances, certain fundamental rights may not be suspended. These include the right not to be arbitrarily deprived of life; freedom from torture and other ill-treatment; and freedom of thought, religion, or conscience.33 Further, in the context of a non-international armed conflict, the protections provided by international humanitarian law will apply. These include protection from inhumane or degrading treatment; violence; unfair trials; and restrictions on methods of warfare.
