A Mirror for the World[edit]
Four years after World War II ended, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 emerged[1]. The international doctrine formally drafted the indispensable rules of conduct during wartime, irrespective of any other factors involved. Following the deadliest conflict in human history[2], the Geneva Conventions of 1949 were and commitment from states and non-state actors to prevent another event from occurring again. The Conventions aimed at protecting the key principals of humanitarianism during times of conflict and protect those not engaged in fighting, including rules prohibiting things such as:
- Turning away a group of refugees, forcing them to return to a place where they may be harmed or prosecuted (a.k.a. refoulement)
- Targeting non-combatants (civilians, medical personnel, journalists, etc.)
- Anyone not participating in hostilities
- Torturing anyone, including prisoners of war (POWs), criminals, etc.[3]
Seventy-four years later, the Geneva Conventions of 1949 persist in emerging amidst conflicts.
This article will be analyzing current world conflicts by directly applying the groundbreaking principles of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.[edit]
