The respect and protection of fundamental human rights is the key element in peacekeeping and peace-building between nations in the world. However, today one of the most biggest and serious threats to the international peace and security are the violations of human rights during armed conflicts that arise not among States, but among warring factions, such as armed non-state actors (ANSA s). For this purpose, the main focus of this master thesis is on the possibility to apply Human Rights Law norms to the non-state actors (including ANSA s) through the participatory rights in the law-making in the international legal system, as well as through the States parties of particular human rights treaties.
