Abstract: International protection for internally displaced persons has gone through many ancient stages, with its earliest roots dating back to the divine religions and ancient civilizations. The most prominent manifestations of this protection were reflected in the teachings of the Messenger of Islamic Mercy, Muhammad (PBUH), to the soldiers of Islam during the conquests in which they fought. These teachings enshrined principles and concepts and laid the foundations for the protection undertaken by the international community for this category of civilians during armed conflicts. This protection evolved until it emerged in its own independent laws. The most prominent development was the conclusion of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the two Additional Protocols of 1977. These are known as international humanitarian law, which extends its protection of human rights in times of war and international and non-international armed conflicts. This law is represented in the agreements signed between countries, as well as in the general rules and customary laws that become legally binding by virtue of the countries’ practice of them. However, all these agreements do not negate the problem raised about international law, that it does not regulate the state’s actual use of force. However, what mitigates the severity of this problem is that this is regulated by an important part of international law.
