The Geneva conventions of August 12-1949

---

The Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949, constitute the core of modern international humanitarian law, establishing rules to protect victims of armed conflict. Comprising four treaties, they provide safeguards for the wounded and sick on land and at sea, prisoners of war, and civilians under occupation. The Conventions set out fundamental principles of humanity, including the prohibition of torture, collective punishment, and attacks on non-combatants. They also establish obligations for state parties to respect and ensure compliance in times of war. As universally ratified treaties, the Geneva Conventions remain a cornerstone for the protection of human dignity during armed conflicts and continue to guide the development of humanitarian norms and practices.
