Treaty of Geneva

The Treaty of Geneva refers to international agreements aimed at improving the treatment of sick and wounded soldiers, particularly during wartime. One of the most well-known is the Geneva Conventions, which establish standards for humane treatment, care, and protection of non-combatants, prisoners, and medical personnel in conflicts. These treaties promote respect for human dignity and ensure that wounded or captured individuals are treated ethically, regardless of their nationality or side in the conflict. They are foundational in international humanitarian law, guiding nations in conducting war ethically and protecting vulnerable populations during armed conflicts.
