AB As the 74th anniversary of the 1951 Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugeesapproaches in 2025, this article examines the evolution of the relationship between internationalrefugee law (IRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL) in situations of armed conflict since1951. The discussion highlights the significant progress made globally in understanding how thesetwo legal systems interact, particularly in contexts where armed conflict exacerbates the plight ofrefugees. Key milestones in legal frameworks and case law illustrate a growing recognition of thenecessity for cooperation between IRL and IHL to safeguard the rights of displaced individuals.Despite these advancements, considerable challenges remain in fully aligning their applications.These challenges include discrepancies in definitions of refugee status, complexities of enforcement, and varying interpretations of obligations under both legal regimes. Additionally, contemporary issues such as regional conflicts and increasing numbers of forcibly displaced people underscore the urgency of refining these legal frameworks. The article ultimately advocates for a moreintegrated approach to enhance the comprehensive protection of refugees caught in armed conflicts,emphasising the importance of collaboration between legal frameworks to effectively address theevolving needs of displaced populations.
