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.
