Abstract

In the international armed conflict, one of the protected parties is a medical officer. Medical officers in international humanitarian law have legal protections that must always be respected and obeyed by the parties to the International Armed Conflict following article 24 of the 1949 Geneva convention, article 20 paragraph 1 of the 1949 Geneva convention IV, article 12 (1) additional protocol 1 1977 and Article 9 (1) of Additional Protocol II 1977. The purpose of this article is to find out whether an attack on a medical officer is a violation of international humanitarian law. This research is normative legal research using a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the research prove that attacks on medical officers in situations of international armed conflict are a form of serious violation of humanitarian law, namely the Geneva Convention 1 1949, article 20 paragraph 1 of the Geneva convention IV 1949, article 12 (1) additional protocol 1 1977 and article 9 (1) Additional Protocol II 1977 and violates the principles of military interest, humanity, and the principle of distinction.
