Courts and Society
The Geneva Conventions are a series of international treaties established to ensure humanitarian treatment during armed conflicts, protecting those who are not participating in hostilities, such as civilians, prisoners of war, and the wounded. These conventions form the cornerstone of international humanitarian law and set the standards for humane treatment and the rights of individuals in war, significantly influencing the development of international courts and tribunals that address war crimes and violations of human rights.
