Abstract: Children in armed conflicts face severe violations of their fundamental rights, including recruitment into armed groups, physical and psychological abuse, displacement, and denial of education and healthcare. This research article provides a comparative analysis of IHRL and IHL in protecting child rights in war zones. While IHRL, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, guarantees universal rights and prohibits derogation except under emergencies, its enforcement in active conflict zones remains limited. Conversely, IHL, embodied in the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, provides specific regulations for safeguarding of children during armed conflicts, including prohibitions on recruitment and mandates for special protection of non-combatant children. This study highlights the overlapping protections and divergent approaches of the two legal frameworks, noting that gaps in enforcement, age ambiguities, and weak accountability mechanisms contribute to continued violations. Through case studies from Sudan, Gaza, and Ukraine, the article demonstrates the persistent abuse of child rights despite the existence of international legal norms. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for harmonization between IHRL and IHL, stricter enforcement mechanisms, and awareness programs for communities and military actors. Strengthening international cooperation and monitoring can ensure comprehensive protection of children in conflict zones, bridging the gap between legal provisions and ground realities. This research contributes to the discourse on child protection in war zones, offering recommendations for policy, legal reform, and practical measures to preserve the rights of vulnerable children.
