tinue to apply in situations of armed conflict. Similarly, the Vienna Declara- tion and Programme of Action called on all States and all parties to armed conflicts to pay strict observance to international humanitarian law as well as to the minimum standards required for protecting human rights. In 1996, the Commission on Human Rights recognized the need to identify the funda- mental principles applicable to situations of internal violence.
It is now acknowledged that human rights law and humanitarian law should be viewed in an integrated and holistic manner, where the individual has pro- tection under human rights law at all times, as well as that provided under humanitarian law during periods of  armed conflict.

7. International  human  rights instruments
The full body of international human rights instruments consists of more than 100 treaties, declarations, guidelines, recommendations and principles which together set out international human rights standards. The main trea- ties and landmark human rights conferences are mentioned in Part 1. How- ever, many other international human rights instruments adopted by, or under the aegis of the United Nations, define specific rights, set out the rights of particular groups and regulate conduct to protect human rights. A full list of international instruments is at Annex I.
