Geneva Convention (regarding ethical aspects)

The Geneva Conventions are international agreements that establish ethical standards for humanitarian treatment during war. They aim to protect those who are injured, sick, or captured, regardless of their nationality or allegiance. These rules prohibit torture, ensure fair treatment, and mandate humane care for prisoners and civilians. Their purpose is to reduce suffering and uphold human dignity amidst conflict, emphasizing that even in war, certain ethical principles must be maintained to respect human rights and maintain moral responsibilities.
