International Committee of the Red Cross

The Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 is the fourth iteration of international treaties aimed at protecting individuals in armed conflict, following earlier versions from 1864, 1906, and 1929. Comprising 64 articles, it outlines protections for the wounded and sick, as well as for medical and religious personnel, medical units, and transports. The Convention also introduces distinctive emblems for identification and includes annexes for hospital zones and identity cards. This document is foundational in international humanitarian law.
