The Commission on Human Rights resolution affirms that counter-terrorism measures must respect human rights and international law. It recognizes the need for counter-terrorism to protect rights like life and security, but stresses that no derogation of rights is permitted under international law. The resolution calls on states to prevent arbitrary detention and respect due process rights for any detainees. It also condemns torture and calls for ratification of treaties banning cruel treatment. The resolution supports coordination between UN bodies to monitor counter-terrorism efforts and rights compliance.

Does Egypt need to have issue laws or it need to coherence of the Community intellectually and politically to stand in front of this wave of abnormal thought?
Can the Egypt deter a criminal by the laws or the government creates more extremists who find in violating of their rights field to force this country and continue to face?
Egypt is in dire need of wise now to take it towards the right path away from the fossilized minds or extremist ideas.
Therefore, we need to stop in front of these violations that Egypt was suffering in the human right's file in an unprecedented way in all the previous eras. The current power desires liquidation of all its opponents inside and outside prisons in the light of continued killings and torture.

Fact sheet providing a summary description of the sources, content and field of application of international humanitarian law.
International humanitarian law is a set of rules which seek, for humanitarian reasons, to limit the effects of armed conflict. It protects persons who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and restricts the means and methods of warfare. International humanitarian law is also known as the law of war or the law of armed conflict.
International humanitarian law is part of international law, which is the body of rules governing relations between States. International law is contained in agreements between States – treaties or conventions –, in customary rules, which consist of State practise considered by them as legally binding, and in general principles.
International humanitarian law applies to armed conflicts. It does not regulate whether a State may actually use force; this is governed by an important, but distinct, part of international law set out in the United Nations Charter.
