About

These conventions aim to protect individuals who are not or are no longer participating in hostilities, including civilians, prisoners of war, and the sick or wounded. The first Geneva Convention was adopted in 1864, and subsequent treaties have been added over the years to address new challenges and developments in warfare. The conventions outline rules regarding the treatment of detainees, the wounded and sick, the protection of civilians, and the conduct of hostilities. They also provide for the establishment of the International Committee of the Red Cross, which plays a crucial role in monitoring and promoting compliance with the conventions. The Geneva Conventions have been recognized as customary international law and are widely considered to be the most significant treaties in the field of humanitarian law.
