Geneva Conventions

The Geneva Conventions are four international treaties adopted in 1949, together with three additional protocols, that codify the legal standards for the humanitarian treatment of civilians, wounded and sick combatants, prisoners of war, and medical personnel during armed conflict. They were drafted and promoted by the International Committee of the Red Cross, headquartered in Geneva, and form the core of international humanitarian law. Their provisions bind signatory states regardless of whether the opposing party to a conflict has ratified them.
