The human entity is not limited to the body, and the safety of this entity is not limited to the safety of his body, which can be injured as a result of armed conflicts. There is the soul, which can also be injured. Perhaps psychological injuries are more influential than physical injuries, and mental illness often affects health. Mental illness is a disease, and mental health is an integral part of public health. The body does not fully perform its functions unless it is free of mental illnesses. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the extent and adequacy of international protection against mental illnesses, especially since the victims may not show symptoms immediately. Mental illness may appear after quite a while, and mental illness, unlike physical injuries, may affect a person far from the area of armed conflict, as is the case with the families of those killed and missing in armed conflict. Therefore, international organizations are redoubling their efforts to reduce the effects of mental illness in armed conflicts.
