Give me all about the Geneva Treaty

The Geneva Conventions are the general name for a series of international conventions on the protection of civilians and victims of war, concluded in Geneva, Switzerland, from 1864 to 1949.

The Geneva IV Convention entered into force on 21 October 1950, and two additional protocols to the Geneva IV Convention were signed in Geneva on 10 June 1977 and entered into force on 7 December 1978.

The Convention is considered an important part of international humanitarian law and is the authoritative legal instrument governing the conduct of hostile parties in situations of war and conflict. China acceded to the Convention in 1956. On 7 September 2019, a seminar to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Geneva Conventions was held in Beijing.

The process of the Geneva Conventions:

In August 1864, at the initiative of the Commission, Switzerland** convened an international conference in Geneva with the participation of France, Italy, Spain and other countries. On 22 August, the 12 participating countries signed the Convention on the Amelioration of the Situation of the Wounded in Armed Forces in the Field (also known as the Universal Red Cross Convention). It was the first Geneva Convention on the treatment of the sick and wounded in time of war, and it established the neutral status of military hospitals and medical personnel.

Provision is made for the reception and care of wounded and sick servicemen, regardless of nationality, and their repatriation under the conditions laid down in the Convention. On the basis of the Geneva Conventions of 1864, after several revisions and additions over the years, they have developed into the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

The Geneva Conventions consist of four parts: the Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field of Combat; Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked in Armed or Armoured Forces at Sea; the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War; Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (Geneva Convention No. 4 of 1949).

Composed of four parts, the Doudou Group covers all aspects of war and occupation, and makes a significant contribution to the preservation of human dignity and humanity in wartime.

On the basis of the Geneva Conventions of 1864, they have been revised and supplemented several times in 1906, 1929 and 1949 to form the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

The Conventions were signed in Geneva on August 12, 1949 by 61 countries, including China, the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and entered into force on October 21, 1950.

Summary. Yes, the Geneva Conventions were signed in Geneva, Switzerland, and have a lot to do with Geneva.

Can you tell us more about that?

Yes, the Geneva Conventions are one of the foundations of contemporary international humanitarian law and a legislative outcome. It derives its name from Geneva, the city of Geneva, the country and the International Committee of the Red Cross that attended the negotiations. The content of the agreement sets out the legal rules governing the handling of prisoners of war and the protection of civilians and non-combatants in military operations.

War may be necessary to some extent, but human rights and humanitarian norms must be protected and respected. The Geneva Conventions aim to ensure that human dignity and rights are protected during international armed conflicts, even in war, and that both sides to the war follow the rules and avoid unnecessary damage to the population. Therefore, the Convention on Intra-Japanese Aggression is of great significance in safeguarding human rights and humanitarianism.
