In this study, the author utilized a normative research methodology to analyze the legal frameworks such as key treaties, conventions, and customary international law provisions for safeguarding medical personnel to determine the responsibility of the perpetrators. The result of the research concludes that attacks on medical personnel in international armed conflicts are serious violations of international humanitarian law (IHL). Protected under Geneva Conventions I-IV 1949, Additional Protocols, and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, these attacks are considered war crimes. Therefore, such actions severely impact affected populations by restricting access to medical care and humanitarian aid. Despite established legal protections, ongoing violations underscore the need for stronger enforcement and compliance with IHL to ensure the safety of medical personnel and facilities in conflict zones.
