Abstract : Women as a minority group in every given soceity, are understandably strongly affected by armed conflict. This negative experience becomes very precarious for these women in situations where they are highly affected from the abuse and traumas emanating from the outcome of war especially those countries plague by the disaster of armed conflict. As a preliminary remark, it should be acknowledged that while the effects of armed conflict is not always discernible and quantifiable in women, they remain present and multi-dimensional to such an extent that it would be extremely ambitious for any legal or normative framework to pretend to tackle them holistically. The objective of this paper is in examining the role and place of international humanitarian law, human right law and even criminal law in the protection, and treatment of women in a controlled armed conflict. Continuous increase of abuses, rape, exploitation and even violations of women rights during armed conflict creates an impression at both the international and even legal communities of the efficiency and effective protection of women in armed conflict. The main question to be examined here is in analyzing a comparative study of the three legal frameworks, so as to ascertain their compatibilities, and even to a greater extent, complementarities of the three regimes.
