Description

The four Geneva Conventions, adopted in 1949, remain the fundamental basis of contemporary international humanitarian law. They protect the wounded on the battlefield, those wounded or shipwrecked at sea, prisoners of war, and civilians in time of war. However, since they were adopted, warfare has changed considerably. This book investigates the application of the Geneva Conventions and explains how they should be interpreted today.
