12.2 Precedence (Lex Specialis)

  1. IHL (non-derogable) — always takes precedence for protected persons in conflict
  2. IHRL — applies concurrently except where IHL specifically derogates
  3. Regional law (GDPR) — applies to the extent not inconsistent with IHL
  4. Domestic law — lowest precedence; cannot lower the IHL floor

12.3 Conflict Resolution

When regimes conflict: most protective standard for persons, highest accountability for operators, most restrictive data handling.
