Geneva guidelines

The Geneva Guidelines are a set of international standards and rules designed to protect the rights and well-being of individuals during armed conflicts. They emphasize humane treatment for all people, including prisoners and civilians, regardless of their nationality or status. These guidelines aim to prevent abuse, torture, and violence, and promote respectful, fair treatment in times of war. They are part of broader international humanitarian law, drawing from treaties like the Geneva Conventions, and serve as a moral and legal framework for states and military forces to follow in conflict situations.
