Implementing the Geneva Conventions faces several challenges, including lack of compliance by some states and non-state actors, which can lead to violations of humanitarian law in conflict zones. Additionally, the enforcement mechanisms are often weak, relying on state cooperation and international pressure, which may not always be effective. Furthermore, the evolving nature of warfare, including cyber warfare and the use of mercenaries, complicates the applicability and enforcement of these conventions in contemporary conflicts. Finally, inadequate training and awareness among military personnel and lack of resources for monitoring compliance further hinder effective implementation.
