The
Geneva Conventions are four
treaties, and three additional
protocols, that establish
international legal standards for humanitarian treatment in
war. The singular term
Geneva Convention usually denotes the agreements of 1949, negotiated in the aftermath of the
Second World War (1939–1945), which updated the terms of the two 1929 treaties and added two new conventions. The Geneva Conventions extensively define the basic rights of wartime prisoners,
civilians and
military personnel, established protections for the wounded and sick, and provided
protections for the civilians in and around a war-zone.
