The Geneva Conventions are four international treaties that form the core of humanitarian law, setting standards for humane treatment of civilians, prisoners of war, and wounded soldiers during armed conflict. They were established in 1949 (building on earlier treaties) and are overseen by the Red Cross. The InLeo community occasionally discusses them in contexts like alleged war crimes or proposed "Digital Geneva Conventions" for cyber warfare.
