The code of conduct that applies only if the detaining country adheres to the Geneva Conventions is the treatment of prisoners of war (POWs). The Third Geneva Convention outlines specific rights and protections for POWs, including humane treatment, access to medical care, and the prohibition of torture and inhumane treatment. If a country is not a party to the Geneva Conventions or does not adhere to its principles, these protections may not be guaranteed. Thus, adherence to the Geneva Conventions is crucial for the enforcement of these humanitarian standards.
The Geneva Conventions are a series of treaties on the treatment of civilians, prisoners of war (POWs) and soldiers who are otherwise rendered incapable of fighting. Since 1949, the Geneva Conventions has been ratified by 196 countries.
