The 1929 Geneva Convention, specifically concerning the treatment of prisoners of war, was signed by 47 countries. This convention aimed to establish humane treatment standards for captured military personnel and laid the groundwork for subsequent international humanitarian law. The number of signatories reflected a growing recognition of the need for legal protections during armed conflicts.

What is the Geneva protocol?

It is a treaty, signed by all civilised nations, that prescribes the rules for conducting war. It specifies how prisoners are to be treated, it specifies how civilians in occupied territories are to be treated. It makes it illegal to do certain things like shoot at hospitals or houses of worship unless the enemy are shooting from them or storing weapons and ammo in them. Michael MontagneNote that there is no "Geneva Convention". In reality, there are a series of international treaties, collectively called the "Geneva Conventions" (note the plural).Collectively, these treaties (plus a set of similar treaties known as The Hague Conventions) set out a framework of rules regarding the "proper" or "civilized" conduct of warfare. They ban the use of certain weapons, and talk about how soldiers and civilians are to be treated during warfare. They also talk about proper conduct of warfare, addressing such topics as proper use of force, permitted actions by belligerent and non-belligerent forces, and identification of belligerents.


How did the Geneva Convention treat prisoners of Japanese war?

There has been lots of debate upon this one, but to fully understand this issue, you must understand Bushido, the warrior's code. This is the idea that the Japanese lived by. Fair and humane treatment of prisoners does not reconcile with Bushido. According to Bushido, you are a warrior and it is not only your right, but your duty to die for the Emperor. You never surrender. So when Allied troops surrendered, this went against everything the Japanese believed in. That is part of the reason they treated the POWs the way they did, they felt nothing but contempt for them, because they surrendered. Also, Japan never signed any agreement to abide by the terms of the Geneva Convention, which also included rules about the treatment of civilians as well as POWs.
