Geneva Convention
Established the standards of humanitarian treatment in war
Real World Example
The Geneva Convention was crucial during World War II as it set rules to protect soldiers and civilians, emphasizing humane treatment even during conflicts. These conventions highlighted the global desire to prevent war atrocities and protect human rights. Today, the principles of the Geneva Convention continue to influence international laws and ensure that even in warfare, there are standards to protect people. For example, if someone is captured in war, these rules help ensure they are treated fairly, preventing torture or inhumane conditions. This impacts everyone's daily life by promoting a global culture of human rights, ensuring that even in tough situations, dignity and respect are prioritized.
