Comparative Study of the International Humanitarian Law System with the General International Law System (Progressive Development of Law)
International human rights law has characteristics that distinguish it from other branches of public international law. These specific characteristics have caused some common terms to undergo conceptual transformation or metamorphosis and to bring to mind a meaning different from what they have in the field of international law. One of these terms is “progressive development of law”. The declarative nature of human rights rules (in all types and forms of rules, including custom and treaty) has caused progressive development, which in international law brings to mind the concept of establishing and creating rights, to bring with it the meaning of promoting the status and status and promoting human rights in the subject area of international human rights, which is entirely of the nature of recognition. Investigating key and frequently used terms such as "progressive development of rights" and identifying and explaining their precise meaning in the subject area under discussion will have the benefit of ensuring that those committed to human rights rules, which are in most cases states, correctly understand the nature and scope of their obligations and implement them correctly and in a timely manner in accordance with the protectionist goals of human rights. The present study seeks to answer this basic question by explaining the characteristics of international law and international human rights, what is the semantic difference between the term "progressive development of rights" in international human rights and This term has a general meaning in the field of international law, and what are the alternative terms for progressive development in international human law and what meaning do they bring to mind?
