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.
The national convention established the First Republic.

The Geneva Convention
"The 1949 Geneva Conventions. The first Geneva Convention protects wounded and sick soldiers on land during war. This Convention represents the fourth updated version of the Geneva Convention on the wounded and sick following those adopted in 1864, 1906 and 1929. It contains 64 articles."
If you mean Geneva Convention then yes, it does. It violates article 3 of the Geneva Convention making it a crime.
The singular term Geneva Convention refers to the agreements of 1949.

1949
The Geneva Convention of 1864, which was the first of four Geneva Conventions, founded he international Red Cross. This organization has helped worldwide during disasters and insured that basic human rights are met during issues relating to war.
http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/CONVPRES?OpenView First off, there is no "Geneva Convention". The Geneva Conventions (plural) are a series of international treaties. Most deal with the proper conduct of warfare (i.e. the "rules of war"), but there are others which deal with economic issues. You need to be much more specific as to which Convention you are referring to. Also, the link above only show some of the Geneva Conventions on warfare, but not all of them.
At the convention, did they say the rights for an asylum seeker?
The foundation of the Red Cross led to the Geneva Convention. It laid down the foundation for modern humanitarian laws that are observed today.
