Background and Aim: Civil wars, whether conflicts between the government and opposition groups or armed conflicts between two or more armed groups within a country, are among the most important crises in Islamic countries in the modern era. The collective and human consequences of these conflicts are deeper and deadlier compared to international wars. In internal armed conflicts, women, children, and ethnic and religious minorities are more exposed to violations of fundamental rights and harm due to their special circumstances. This article, with a descriptive-analytical and comparative approach, examine the foundations of support for victims of internal wars from a jurisprudential and legal perspective. The main goal is to identify the jurisprudential and legal frameworks for the criminal protection of victims. Analyzing jurisprudential and legal foundations in this field can be an effective step in strengthening the idea of support and implementation of justice for victims.
Materials and Methods: Descriptive-analytical
Ethical Considerations All ethical principles have been followed in writing this article.
Findings & Conclusion: A review of the situation of Islamic countries involved in internal wars shows that legal and social support for victims, both during and after the war, has been very limited, and perpetrators of crimes have been shielded from punishment through peace plans and political and social influence, and this vicious cycle continues. This is rooted in legal gaps, cultural challenges, policymakers' attitudes, governance, and social institutions |
