Results: Wide support for women's and children's right to health includes many examples such as the right to access drinking water, sacrificial substances, and access to referees and medical services. But while the suspension is subject to compliance with conditions and conditions, including being in a "state of emergency", in practice, some governments involved in the conflict use the suspension contained in human rights documents as a tool to violate human rights; Therefore, we are witnessing the instrumental use of this condition by the governments and in practice, the claim of the state of emergency is used in every case as a legal tool by the parties to the conflict to violate human rights.
