They cover agreements on the proper conduct of warfare. See the related question for more information about each treaty and what it covers.

Geneva conventions
The Geneva Conventions establish fundamental principles for the humane treatment of individuals during armed conflict, influencing the Rules of Engagement (ROE) by setting legal and ethical standards for military conduct. These conventions mandate the protection of non-combatants and the treatment of prisoners of war, thereby guiding military personnel on the use of force and engagement with the enemy. Consequently, ROE must align with these principles, ensuring that military actions comply with international law and uphold human rights. Failure to adhere to the Geneva Conventions can lead to legal repercussions and impact the legitimacy of military operations.
